Saturday open house held over functionality of Bow Trail/Sarcee intersection [Video]

On Saturday the City of Calgary held the first of three open houses seeking public input regarding the the functionality of the intersection and roadways of Sarcee Trail and Bow Trail S.W.

Two options are being presented residents: a diamond interchange and another with a partial cloverleaf. Both have pedestrian and wheeling accessibility with consideration for an overpass and underpass options. 

People were given the opportunity to review what was heard during Phase 1 Engagement, review and provide feedback on the concept options, ask the project team questions, and learn about the next steps.

The session was held at the Wildwood Community Association which Drew Gnam, who drives through the intersection every day, attended.

 “If there was a better flow of traffic, I think there will be a lot of ease in driving through the area,” said Gnam. “From our perspective, both options work because, we’re not drastically impacted,  we’re not cyclists.”
