Concept Idea 1
about 3 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.We would like to hear from you about the concept ideas for the bridge, including active transportation connections, open space amenities and landscaping.
Considerations:
- Most direct access to possible active transportation connections to the west
- Longest bridge length (cost)
- Possible overlap with Terwillegar Drive Expansion
- Furthest from homes on the north side but close proximity to backyards on south side
Questions:
- What do you like about Concept Idea 1?
- Is there anything missing?
- What improvements would you make?
- What amenities would you like to see near the bridge crossing and along the active transportation connections?
How to participate: Share your ideas and read what others have suggested. Show your support by ‘liking’ the ideas that inspire you the most.
bonnieabout 3 years agoThe walkways thru the Brookview community are not city property. The residents pay extra taxes to the community for these walkways.
These WALKWAYS are not meant for public BIKE paths!!!!!!!!! It is hard enough to go for a WALK on these paths already without having hundreds more bikes using OUR FUNDED paths! The city has no right to take the bike paths through our residential areas and ruin our communities.
0 comment1johameabout 3 years agoI am vehemently opposed to the walk way behind the residence on the south side of the freeway. they can escape to north side freeway
1 comment4John_Fabout 3 years agoOff-leash Dog park
There's about 4½ acres of city land between 142 Street and Whitemud Drive/Terwillegar Interchange. There's already a fence in place up against the berm and there are plenty of trees. If a new fence and gate was installed against the Whitemud Bend, it would be great for dogs to run free. There's already a garbage-can at the cul-de-sac, so city sanitation services are already operational in that location. It's a no-brainer.
5 comments4Patabout 3 years agoMost Viable Option
This option provides the most direct access to the multi use path that will be used by hundreds of residence in Brookview and communities further south. It also keeps the through traffic out of the community and on the multi-use path, where it belongs. The cost will likely be comparable given it will be complete at the same time as the Terwillegar interchange work.
1 comment2Babelloydabout 3 years agoLonger and costlier
This option is a longer span than necessary, making the cost higher than necessary.

Concept Idea 2
about 3 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.We would like to hear from you about the concept ideas for the bridge, including active transportation connections, open space amenities and landscaping.
Considerations:
- Direct connection to 53 Ave Shared-Use Path
- Possible utility conflicts
- Close proximity to homes on north side and backyards on south side
- Close proximity to existing Homeowners Association walkway and shared-use path on south side
Questions:
- What do you like about Concept Idea 2?
- Is there anything missing?
- What improvements would you make?
- What amenities would you like to see near the bridge crossing and along the active transportation connections?

Kevin Kabout 3 years agoSupport concept but homeowners walkway is misrepresented - doesn't meet multiuse trail requirements - not designed for both bikes and ped's
Homeowners walkway should be removed from the design. Walkway is only 1.5 m wide (shared use path must be a min of 3 m). The path is represented as a straight path in the drawings which is not correct. This path has a number of curves and sight lines are poor. Based on this, the probability of bikes/pedestrians colliding is high. This route also does not provide meaningful access / clear link to multi-use trails / desired destinations which is a project goal. Connectivity on the new shared path along whitmud drive is perfect! Allow's access to all communities in this quadrant (path will run to 23 Ave) on a proper multi-use trail.
2 comments2AF_Brooksideabout 3 years agoDefinitely seems like the logical, balanced approach.
0 comment1Long term Brooksiderabout 3 years agoWhen Brookside was constructed 142 st was a through or major roadway. Note how wide it is. Whitemud freeway replaced its function. Bikes!
Room for bike route
4 comments6Lynabout 3 years agoNeed facilities for restrooms and garbage/recycling along the route.
There are no public restrooms anywhere along these trails, and the distance of the trails is increasing. Port-a-potties are not the answer. Need to be year round, safe sites.
0 comment1BV walkerabout 3 years agoBest concept of the 3 in terms of cost and accessibility. Could be modified slightly to the west to miss electrical installations.

Concept Idea 3
about 3 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.We would like to hear from you about the concept ideas for the bridge, including active transportation connections, open space amenities and landscaping.
Considerations:
- Short bridge length
- Further from homes on north side, close proximity to backyards on south side
- Least direct connection
- Moving too far east may require approach ramps, impacting cost and accessibility
Questions:
- What do you like about Concept Idea 3?
- Is there anything missing?
- What improvements would you make?
- What amenities would you like to see near the bridge crossing and along the active transportation connections?

NGNeighbourabout 3 years agoDo not like concept 3.
This concept doesn't line up as well with 142 St. Don't like potential slopes on this concept and additional paths that would be needed to deal with the elevation changes which assume will add to the cost of this option.
0 comment2Kevin Kabout 3 years agoNot viable - if moving to the east reconsider under Rainbow Valley bridge or utilizing 119 Street
Concept 3 doesn't seem viable. If moving to the east , would be better off re-examining options under the rainbow valley bridge or connecting across the rainbow valley (in similar fashion to the existing walkway on the northside) and utilizing the existing bridge on 119 Street.
1 comment2AF_Brooksideabout 3 years agoDon't like the extra length this route adds to north/south connection. Access ramps impact to naturalized areas would be a shame.
0 comment3Brookview Homeownerabout 3 years agoLike this the least; too much of a detour and not worth the extra cost.
0 comment0StephenRabout 3 years agoLeast direct route
Makes walking/cycling less efficient. Also, elevation change may be burdensome for kids or older people.
