Adaptive Roadways
In preparation of winter, The City will be removing most of the lane closures put in place to accommodate physical distancing along popular walking and cycling routes. This will occur on Tuesday Oct. 13, 2020. Lane closures put in place to accommodate restaurant patios on sidewalks will remain in place until 2 cms or more of snow is forecasted in Calgary.

88 Street SE
In order to take advantage of the good weather we’ve been experiencing this fall, crews working on the 88 Street SE Extension project are planning to place gravel and begin paving during Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 11 and 12). This extra weekend work will allow crews to complete as much construction as possible this fall before colder conditions set in. Final road completion is scheduled for Summer 2021.

Calgary Parking Authority
Holiday rates will be in effect at select CPA surface lots and parkades. Payment is not required for on-street ParkPlus zones on Monday, Oct. 12 for Thanksgiving. Regular rates will be in effect at the Calgary Zoo and TELUS Spark while parking will be free at Heritage Park.

CPA's main office location (620 9 Ave SW) and the Impound Lot (400 39 Ave SE) will be closed on Monday, Oct. 12. Online payments and appeals can be made at calgaryparking.com.
