City of Calgary – Shaganappi Trail Transit Study – Public Engagement

A Message from the City of Calgary
Shaganappi Trail Transit Study Team

Shaganappi Trail Transit Study

We are launching this transit study aimed at improving transit service and connectivity along Shaganappi Trail in North Calgary. The study will examine the corridor from the Symons Valley Transit Terminal to the Brentwood Light Rail Transit (LRT) station. This corridor will facilitate a north-south crosstown transit service, linking both developing and established communities in northwest Calgary to the Primary Transit Network (PTN) and regular transit routes at the Brentwood transit terminal, including the Red Line LRT, the 144 Avenue North BRT, and the MAX Orange line.

Public Engagement: 

 Through this study, we are inviting residents to participate in several engagement opportunities online and in-person, to share their thoughts and ideas for transit service along Shaganappi Trail:

  • IN-PERSON PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT (POP-UP)
    • WHEN: Saturday, November 23, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.
    • WHERE: Nose Hill Library (1530 Northmount Dr NW, Calgary)
  • IN-PERSON PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT (POP-UP)
    • WHEN: November 25, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Waste & Recycling Services Update 2024_10

A message from the City of Calgary

Tips for using your green cart this fall 

  • Yard waste like leaves, branches, grass, and plants can go directly inside the green cart.
  • Always fill your green cart first, then fill paper yard waste bags. Roll tops of bags closed to prevent spills and allow your collector to pick up the bags.
  • Place extra yard waste bags at least two feet to the side of your green cart for collection. Make sure you can lift the bag with one hand.
  • Do not use plastic bags in your green cart.

Starting in November, the City will pick up your green cart once every other week. Weekly green cart collection will resume in the spring.
