● Large grassed open spaces
● Paved stormwater infrastructure needs improvements
● Possible trail Improvements
● Few seating areas throughout the park
● Limited accessibility to some areas of the park at the top of the dry pond

What is it like to walk, roll and bike through Jack Horan Park?
Are there places to rest, gather and meet neighbours?
Are there any amenities missing in the park? Are there activities you would like to do, but can't?

Are there any other opportunities for improvement in this area?

Increase attractive lighting in the park. Add more benches and picnic tables. Maintain the park with better grounds maintenance.

Make the park more bird friendly
I think it would be great to add some more bird friendly shrubs/low-lying plants to provide more shelter for birds in tumultuous weather. Some functional bird houses would be a fantastic addition. There is a pair of Northern Flickers that hang around, and it would be excellent to provide a nesting opportunity for them. I know some young men in the neighborhood who are capable of building nest boxes.

Clean it up; add a playground; mow all the grass, especially on the north side.

Naturalization
Adding more natural plantings and habitats to encourage birds and other wildlife to coexist would be a bonus. I am a bird watcher and I think it would be great to make this park a little more natural. Maybe add some birdhouses too? Rather than just trees with mown grass around them.

Encourage the restaurants nearby like Earls and Ricky's to have permanent locks on the dumpsters that face the park. It attracts homeless.

Add more picnic tables and benches. Walkway at north end through trees is a bit dark and unkempt at night. A few homeless like that spot.

96 Ave between 167 st and 165 st perhaps the worst asphalt in the west end. Stop patching and just properly pave this road. Seriously.

Wider Sidewalks, direct MUPs through fields, avoiding roads
Once kids cross 95ave from the south, can there be a direct MUP to the schools through the field that avoid 165st? Improves safety a lot, keeps them away from busy vehicle drop off areas.

100 Ave and 167 St intersection is dangerous for both pedestrians and drivers. The entrance/exit is FAST and vehicles whiz in and out.
The crossing light at that intersection is helpful, but you can't get to that triangle without dashing across the crosswalk. Watch out!! Eek!

Need this road to leave the community and get to other areas, agree that getting out onto 95 ave can be hard during school rush times.

Direct Access Stony Plain Road & Mayfield Common
Difficult to access 167 Street coming from or going to Stony Plain Road. It is not a direct access point.
over 1 year ago
Sidewalk
Continue with a sidewalk past 100th ave on 167th street so family's can get to Jasper Plaza Daycare safer. Add a slope to the the crosswalk in that intersection so that bikes dont have to go around.

167 St and 98A Ave is used for staff entrance to the Villa Marguerite. It is VERY busy, garbage trucks, staff, etc.
When we first moved here over 20 years ago the access gate used to be closed evenings and weekends. For a few years now it is no longer closed, and there is traffic day and night using this access point. We also see many people cutting through, and other people who "don't belong" in that area during the off hours. Vandalism is a concern for sure.

Sidewalks, Raised crossings, Mobility Lanes
Priority 1 in this area should be kids and parents walking and biking. A mobility/bike lane is definitely needed, connecting with 96a and 95ave and ideally continuing north on 165 (or MUP if 163 get bike lanes) Raised crossings are great for slowing cars and ensuring safer crossings in winter.

Bump outs and beautification
The team identified many areas in need of crosswalks, but the straight, excessively wide street invites speeding through the playground zone. Bump outs and painted streets can help slow traffic and guide parking

Yes better lighting is needed on this pathway beyond Police station lot heading west. Very dark in parts at night.

Wider asphalt MUP.
Makes it better for walking and talking with others, dog walking, pushing strollers, biking, etc
over 1 year ago
I feel a little uneasy when walking there and it is dark. The trees make it feel too secluded- maybe better lighting and trees pruned.
