Stephen Avenue is the city's second -oldest main street, after 9th Avenue S.E. , in nearby Inglewood .
From the 1880s to the 1930s, the main street was the epicentre of Calgary ’s retail and business district.
The city's downtown strategy aims to revitalize the more-than-century-old avenue.
Stephen Avenue’s Streetscape Master Plan envisions dividing 12 blocks of the thoroughfare into three separate zones.
The middle of Stephen Avenue will be the “core zone,” focusing primarily on retail and dining.
The east zone, from Olympic Plaza to 4th Street S.W. , aims to be a destination point for the arts and culture scene.
The west end will feature more residential and mixed-use development.
Stephen Avenue used to attract upwards of six million people annually , but currently welcomes just shy of five million a year.
Mark Garner says the pedestrian mall needs to become a “destination” again.
The city set aside $108 million in its last four-year budget cycle for downtown capital improvements, some of which will go toward revitalization.
