Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Projects (5A)
Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Projects (5A)
We are building a city where everyone has access to safe, healthy, and affordable travel options, year-round. Our pathway and bikeway network is guided by five principles: Always Available for All Ages & Abilities (5A).
Our network of pathways and bikeways spans the city, improving access to workplaces, schools, parks, and local destinations while enhancing safety and connectivity for all.
We're committed to expanding this network over the next 60 years by filling gaps, adding features, and supporting the daily, essential activities of Calgarians such as walking, cycling, and scootering. With over 4,000 km of pathways and bikeways mapped out for the future of travel in Calgary, these new enhancements and paths will create more vibrant and connected communities.
What we are building
2025 pathway construction projects
In 2025, we built more than 12 kilometres of new pathways and bikeways through the 5A Network program. These routes make it safer and easier for people of all ages and abilities to get around Calgary.
Looking ahead: Details about next year’s projects will be posted in early 2026. Check back soon to see what’s coming next!

Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB)
As part of our commitment to enhancing pedestrian safety, we have been approved to install 28 Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) in 2025. RRFBs improve pedestrian crossing safety by alerting drivers with flashing lights when a pedestrian is ready to cross. These lights, similar to emergency flashers on police vehicles, continue to flash as pedestrians walk through the crosswalk, ensuring drivers remain aware throughout the entire crossing.
RRFB locations scheduled for completion in 2025:
- Valley Creek Road & Valley Ridge Drive N.W.
- Nose Hill Drive & Silver Springs Road N.W.
