Critical streetscape enhancements in The Culture + Entertainment District
Supporting the overall delivery of the Rivers District Master Plan and the integration and development of Scotia Place event centre.
Another critical infrastructure investment in vital connectivity.
CMLC is managing a series of infrastructure projects that support the overall delivery of the Rivers District Master Plan and the integration and development of Scotia Place in The Culture + Entertainment District. Infrastructure work will include streetscape development along 14th Avenue, creation of a new street (5A Street SE), enhancements up to 25th Avenue, and Stampede Trail.
Through 2024, CMLC and the City of Calgary collaborated on the procurement and assembly of a Progressive Design Build team for the 6th Street Underpass project, a critical north-south connector in the district. In 2025, the underpass will move through design development and will be delivered by the City of Calgary Infrastructure Services team.
District wide infrastructure will be delivered in collaboration with The City of Calgary’s 6th Street Underpass project which will improve access to and through The C+E and provide a new connection to East Village and surrounding communities.
This infrastructure will facilitate seamless integration of the new facility into The Culture + Entertainment District.
The underpass and surrounding streetscape improvements will expand possibilities for nearby riverfront residential development.
This work will be delivered in close coordination with neighbouring projects including Scotia Place, Stampede Trail and the future Green Line LRT project.
