Montgomery Main Streets

Urban Systems was retained as the Prime Consultant by City of Calgary to develop, design and implement the new vision for the Montgomery Main Streets Bowness Road corridor. The initial phase of the project involved working with the community, businesses and stakeholders to understand their value and develop the Montgomery Main Street Master Plan. The plan proposes solutions to priority issues and illustrates a long-term vision for Bowness Road N.W. as a memorable destination, and a hub for the community. The design concept addresses all elements within the public right-of-way, as well as the interface between the street and adjacent buildings, parks and plazas. Placemaking, traffic calming, transit and vehicle circulation, parking, bicyclist and pedestrian circulation, added street vegetation and street programming with patios and parklets were all incorporated into the vision for Bowness Road N.W. to help create a sense of community among residents of all ages and abilities using the space.
