Resident feedback for Calgary Transit – Route # 23
The City is looking to make improvements to transit along 52nd Street, with the potential of implementing a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system along 52nd Street. Route 23 (Foothills Industrial) bus travels from Saddletowne all the way down to Seton and it is almost at capacity. Public engagement on this project begins on Monday and here’s how we’re asking you to help share the information out to your communities so they can share their feedback and comments with the folks working on this program.

As part of this process, we are conducting a Functional Planning Study to gather feedback and shape the future of transit along this important corridor
Key details:
- 30 km corridor from Saddletowne Circle (Saddle Ridge) to Seton.
- Potential extension of MAX Teal route to 52 Street East, improving transfer convenience.

Seton Regional Park
A new regional park will be developed in Calgary’s southeast community of Seton, located in the green space between Seton Drive S.E. and Seton Park Road S.E. The future regional park will include approximately 6.4 hectares (15.8-acres) of space with specialized amenities and open space. The green space will be undergoing a transition from its current informal uses to a designated City of Calgary regional park space.
The City of Calgary will be seeking public input on potential amenities for this space. The feedback will be used during the design process for developing a master plan for the park that reflects community and regional needs. This master plan will outline a long-term vision for the proposed regional park, including a design concept that will guide the future development. The new Seton Regional Park is anticipated to open for public use in 2027/2028.
