UPDATED – Aug 18: 11 Street /12 Street S.E. Route Improvements – Project Update
August 18th, 202011 Street /12 Street S.E. Route Improvements – Project Update from City of Calgary
from City of Calgary – Transportation Infrastructure
The City of Calgary is making changes to 11 Street and 12 Street S.E. - between 9 Avenue and 26 Avenue S.E. to improve the connectivity, access and mobility for people who travel through Ramsay to connect to the Inglewood community.
To address the gap in our sidewalk network along this corridor. We anticipate construction to begin in September 2020 and will be complete by the end of October. All construction is weather dependent, and every effort will be taken to minimize disruption to residents and businesses during construction.
Construction plans:
- Installing a new asphalt sidewalk and wheelchair ramps on the east side of 11 Street between 17 Avenue to 19 Avenue S.E.
- Adding a pedestrian crossing across 12 street at 11 avenue SE with overhead pedestrian flasher to improve this connection for people wheeling and walking.
- Installing a new asphalt sidewalk and wheelchair ramps along the west side of 11 Street between 21 Avenue and 26 Avenue S.E., including a new pedestrian crossing for the CP Rail tracks.
- Putting in a new southbound bus pad on the west side of 11 Street just south of 23 Avenue S.E.
- Adding a wheelchair ramp on the southwest corner of 10 Avenue and 12 Street S.E. This wheelchair ramp will be smaller than typical to ensure the nearby tree will not be removed.
A map showing the locations where construction will occur is attached.
During construction, we will temporarily close one vehicle travel lane along 11/12 Street S.E. to complete the work; however, traffic will still be maintained through the area and no truck detours will be required as a result of this work. Business access and transit routes will be maintained. Although some sidewalks will be closed during construction, alternative pedestrian accommodation will be provided.
When this project is complete, people who travel through Ramsay to connect to the Inglewood community will benefit from improvements in connectivity, access and mobility along the corridor. There will be new connections to local businesses and key destinations such as the Crossroads Market, the Bow River and the 9 Avenue Main Street area.
People walking, wheeling and driving along the corridor can stay up-to-date on construction activities on calgary.ca/12st or they can subscribe to receive email updates.
Feel free to share this information as you feel appropriate. If you require more information about the upcoming construction work, feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,

Ramsay Strikes Back!
August 17th, 2020As many of you know, RamsayRink and Skate shack were recently hit by with vandalism.
I am happy to say that our community members and volunteers de-graffiti’d and improved the security@ Rink and Shack.
SHOUT OUT TO:
Kevin Watkins and the amazing painting team for their donation of Time and Product, to wipe away all traces of graffiti on the RamsayRink and Skate Shack. What a generous gesture, and amazing transformation.
Eric Malzer, community volunteer and journeyman electrician, who came out to help paint the graffiti and identified opportunities to improve our exterior lighting to help deter future occurrences of vandalism. Eric generously donated his time and expertise to troubleshoot, replace and repair the exterior lights on the skate shack soffit and the rink roof, as well as some required safety repairs.
On behalf of the Ramsay Community Association, and the Ramsay community. T H A N K Y O U!
Just two of a plethora of Ramsay volunteers. Working hard to make Ramsay the Best Community in Calgary.
