Back to EpisodesCalgary Council Backs Business-Friendly Construction Policy
Description
Calgarys city council committee approves new business-friendly policy for construction projects, aiming to minimize disruptions for storefronts. The policy, which passed ten to one, focuses on keeping customers coming without direct cash payments to affected businesses. The city has tested various ideas since 2022, including temporary parking spots, better signs for walkers, traffic guides, and dedicated liaisons. Business owners have expressed frustrations over road repairs and utility fixes, leading to a lawsuit in Marda Loop. The new policy includes an amendment to loop in utility companies for tighter timelines. The full policy now heads to council for final approval.
