Not yet. The city has said it will commence this year, but they don't mention anything more then that on the project web site.

CAn't wait to see this go ahead, 13th isn't in dire need of improvement or anything, but it definitely won't hurt. I wonder what they plan on doing with the newly built streets of Union Square and Colours.

I believe they plan on saving all new concrete and tying into it. I see no reason to remove any of it....

Noticed there are surveying marks all over the ground along the entire stretch from at least 1st Street to 4th Street (tons around 2nd to 4th, but some of those are likely due to the work in Central Memorial Park which is very slowly getting closer to completion)

I'm really interested to see what this ends up like, especially around Haultain park / Union Square and Colours.

Anything happening on this or is it the usual "pie in the sky" Calgary project?

Funding for the first phase from Macleod to 4th Street was approved as far as I know. So it should be going ahead soon I would think. Probably going through detailed design now.

Just wondering, since I walk along 13th Ave from 2nd St W to Centre Street every day and I haven't seen anything. Hopefully they go faster than the 26th avenue promenade which doesn't seem to be moving along at all.

I hope it doesn't drag on like the Elbow river promenade.

So far nothing on the ground has begun. I live along there and haven't heard anything either about schedule, though from talking with others its quite likely nothing will start until next year.

Looks like you were right, unfortunately...

Anyone know why this project is taking so long? I walked by this today and it looks like they nearly have one block done.

There are heaps (and heaps) of utilities along 13th ave. The details for the greenway had to be coordinated with the plans and special engineered tree boxes with holes going from one to the next had to be designed to protect the utilities, and at the same time let the trees grow more freely. The project is suppose to eventually go all the way to 14th st SW when complete over the next X amount of years. The project will also include interpretive panels outlining the historical context in which the greenway is situated. Cant wait to see this all done. Part of the greenway will really urbanize the interface with Central Memorial Park as well.

Also heard they are having complications with how to coordinate construction with maintaining access to the numerous parkaid entrances along 13th. Hotel Arts in particular has cars entering and leaving all the time.
