On November 17th, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) and its 10 member advisory committee announced the three design submissions selected to move forward to the next stage of the competition for the new St. Patrick’s Island pedestrian bridge in East Village. The bridge will link St. Patrick’s Island with East Village to the south and the Bow River pathway system to the north. It will provide improved linkages to many different nearby communities including East Village, Inglewood and Bridgeland, and when combined with the improved pedestrian and cyclist connectivity of the 4th Street Underpass, will play an important role in improving sustainable transportation and recreational linkages throughout the east end of downtown and the Beltline.
For ease of use and to remain consistent, all submissions are displayed as PDF’s. Please note that submissions that were entered as JPEGs have also been converted to PDF’s. Additionally, some PDF files are excerpts from larger documents to show pages with visual images only. As such some PDF files are not the full original file as submitted by the respondent, but no modification was made other than a 90 degree counter-clockwise rotation in isolated cases for clarity in web presentation.
Below are the three finalists for the St. Patrick’s Bridge competition. Please review at your leisure and feel free to leave a comment.
