Thank you to everyone who participated in our engagement and shared their feedback on the four proposed design concept options for active transportation upgrades along Thorne Ave.

From Sept 18 - Oct 8, 2025 we received over 315 survey submissions and hosted approximately 50 attendees at our open house event. We will review the feedback and share a summary of the results soon.

Next Steps

The feedback will be used to refine a final design that we will share in winter 2025/26.

Once complete, the upgrades will connect the multi-use paths on Hammond Road and 117 Avenue, providing a continuous active transportation corridor from the Maple Meadows West Coast Express station to Laity Street and Lougheed Highway.

These upgrades align with the recommendations of the City's Strategic Transportation Plan and will be designed to improve accessibility and foster neighbourhood connects.

Community Engagement

From September 18 - October 8, 2025 the City invited the community to share feedback on four design concept options for active transportation upgrades along Thorne Avenue.

Feedback could be shared through a survey available online or in print.

The City hosted an open house event as an opportunity for residents to discuss the options with staff directly.

Construction Impacts

Once the design is finalized, construction is planned to begin in spring 2026.

Construction Notice letters will be delivered to directly impacted residents prior to construction and the City and contractor will work to reduce the impacts, including:

  • On-street parking will be unavailable in the construction area
  • Bike lanes will be unavailable in the construction area
  • Single-lane alternating traffic will be in effect
  • A temporary road closure may be required
  • A bus stop will be temporarily relocated during construction
  • Landscaping (trees, hedges, fences) located in the road right-of-way may be trimmed or removed

Level of Engagement - Consult

The engagement for this project was at the "consult" level of the International Association for Public Participation's (IAP2) Spectrum of Public Participation. This means that we obtained public feedback on analysis, alternatives and/or decisions.
