City of Calgary reopening Centre Street Bridge lower deck to vehicle traffic
Calgary drivers will once again be able to drive cross the lower deck of the Centre Street bridge on Tuesday, but its reopening is being met with disappointment from cyclists and walkers who use the route.in 2020 as part of the city’s adaptive roadway program — an effort to give pedestrians and cyclists more space., it remained open to pedestrians and cyclists only amid ongoing construction work on flood mitigation and pathway projects in the area.
“We’re losing a direct link that goes over the river just to accommodate motorists’ convenience,” Bergie said. “I’m not sure that’s a compelling reason in this particular period, in the context of a climate emergency, in the context of a downtown strategy that’s trying to inspire a mode shift from private automobiles to public transit and active modes.”
Brian Wong of the Chinatown Business Improvement Area agreed. He said traffic in the community is in “deficit mode” during the winter months and the access for clients of Chinatown businesses is important for their success. “It’s a really unique space because of the structure of the bridge overhead and the structural pillars around,” Bergie told Global News. “It’s visually interesting, visually engaging. It really does invite people to the space and I think some creative programming could really help to activate the space.”
