Glenmore Trail’s Big Upgrade Plan | Calgary News

Calgary’s Glenmore Trail is under intense scrutiny as city planners tackle congestion and safety crises on this vital east-west artery. Between Richard Road and 14th Street SW, traffic bottlenecks and dangerous merging zones — especially near Crowchild Trail — are causing frequent accidents and frustrating commutes. A major planning study launched last month will run until next summer, examining everything from road widening and HOV lanes to a potential new interchange at Richard Road. Environmental factors, drainage, and connections to Rockyview Hospital and regional trails are also on the table. With the city’s population growing and travel patterns shifting, officials are racing to future-proof this high-risk corridor — even if funding isn’t immediate — to ensure smoother, safer travel for everyone.
