Road and Trail Improvements at Banff's Fenlands Recreation Centre
Official title: Town of Banff Fenlands Recreation Centre Entrance and Legacy Trail Improvements
The Town of Banff wants to widen roads and improve traffic flow at the Fenlands Recreation Centre entrance. The project includes realigning drive lanes, connecting the Legacy Trail to the iconic BANFF sign, and landscaping work. It's a partnership with Liricon/Norquay, the ski resort operator.
Why This Matters
Visit Banff regularly? Use the Fenlands Recreation Centre or the Legacy Trail? These changes could make getting in and out easier. The new connector path would also give better access to the famous BANFF sign photo spot.
What Could Change
Mt Norquay Road and the recreation centre entrance would be widened. Drive lanes would be realigned to reduce congestion. A new path would connect the Legacy Trail to the BANFF sign location.
Key Issues
- How should road widening and lane realignment be designed?
- What is the best route for the Legacy Trail connector path?
