Well I've noticed that Calgary has a page discussing the public realm of that specific city and the developments therein, but I thought it would be a good idea for a national thread to discuss major improvements going on across the country.
To many, Calgary's downtown railway underpasses may not seem like a big deal, but they are a bit part of our public realm, the First Street and Eighth Street SW underpasses alone see a combined 18 000 pedestrians and 27 000 vehicles per day, as they are integral links between the Beltline and the Central Business District and Riverfront. As such, the city has long planned to redevelop the underpasses to make them more pedestrian friendly. Two of them, First and Eighth, will be starting this year.
First Street SW
Designed by Marc Boutin, this underpass actually received a Canadian Architect Award of Excellence in 2013.

Eighth Street SW
The Eighth Street underpass is as dual underpass which goes under the railway and Ninth Avenue. It is likely to include a bikeway as well.

Bridges, roads, bike lanes, etc.
