Hello, Ward 1! As we transition from July to August, we wanted to remind you of some community updates and initiatives in Ward 1 and around the city to keep you in the know!
Water Safety
As summer winds down, it’s important to prioritize safety when enjoying Calgary’s waterways. Plan your day on the water by checking river conditions, weather forecasts, safety advisories, river access points, and health advisories to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your family and friends.
School Zones
As the new school year approaches, the Ward 1 office would like to stress the importance of driving cautiously near schools and residential areas. Please note that playground zones are active around schools every day from 7:30 am to 9:00 pm throughout the year. It is very important to adhere to the regulations, and passing another vehicle within a playground zone is strictly prohibited. If you have any traffic safety concerns in your local area, you can submit a Traffic Service Request at calgarypolice.ca. A member of the Calgary Police Service’s Traffic Section will then contact you to discuss the matter further.
Bus Route Changes
In September, Calgary Transit will be implementing changes to several bus routes in Ward 1 as part of the 2024 Transit Service Review program. These changes will include the introduction of the new Route 26 Tuscany/Westbrook and an extension of Route 134 to Rockland Park.
Additionally, there will be minor adjustments to Route 108 and Route 120. The Ward 1 office is excited about the new route to Rockland and would like to thank the Rockland residents for their advocacy for the new bus route. You can visit calgarytransit.com for more detailed information about these upcoming changes to transit services in our community.
