Calgary has at least 10 major “community enhancing” projects either under construction or in the works that have the potential to transform it into a vibrant urban village.

Downtown West End, the blocks west of 6th Street to 14th Street S.W. is the biggest transformation in Calgary these days .

The city has plans to enhance this important pedestrian corridor from the Bow River to 17th Avenue .

8th and 8th could become a vibrant urban hub, especially if the University of Calgary continues to expand its downtown campus.

Ripe for redevelopment are the old Metro Ford and Stampede Pontiac sites on 9th Avenue , next to West Village Towers, as is the Staples store site.

The west end of downtown includes the best remaining mixed-use development site on Bow RiverLouise Crossing .
