Overview

Another critical infrastructure investment in vital connectivity.

CMLC is managing a series of infrastructure projects that support the overall delivery of the Rivers District Master Plan and the integration and development of Scotia Place in The Culture + Entertainment District. Infrastructure work will include a 6th Street underpass, originally identified in the Rivers District Master Plan as a north-south connector critical to the area’s full build out. District infrastructure work will also include streetscape development along 14th Avenue, creation of a new street (5A Street SE), enhancements up to 25th Avenue, and Stampede Trail.
