Railway Avenue
Railway Avenue is a key transportation corridor. It is due for underground utility work and at the same time we will be making sure its design is consistent with the goals set out in the Integrated Transportation Plan. This project has been split into three main sections - Railway Ave South (complete), Railway Ave Central and Railway Ave North.
Goals for the project include:
- Enable a greater range of transportation options and opportunities for residents and visitors.
- Apply a functional and recognizable street design that accommodates all modes: walking, cycling, transit, goods movement, private passenger vehicles.
- Apply best practice guidelines for street design that will enable 40% non-vehicular travel at peak times (summer, long weekends).
- Facilitate movement of people into the Town Centre and encourage through-traffic and transportation of goods around the Town Centre.

Railway Ave Central
Railway Avenue Central is focused around the Main and 10th Street intersections and connects through new pedestrian and cycle facilities to the north and south sections of Railway. Intersections are proposed to be protected, similar to the new intersection at the Shops of Canmore corner on Bow Valley Trail/Railway Avenue.
