Calgary City Council reinforced the need for community space investment starting with the 2022 budget. Several new programs were approved through amendments to add more than $100M in bikeways and community spaces. This presentation will give an overview of the project continuum that is being developed as an approach to support project advancement from policy, prioritization, design, delivery, and operations. The overview will also give insights into immediate projects and design challenges that are relevant today as well as other elements of project development like youth engagement.
