Calgary, AB
Calgary is rebuilding 14 Avenue N.W. between 24 Street and 14 Street because the road is in rough shape. They're asking residents whether to add a multi-use path for cyclists and pedestrians, install a roundabout at 19 Street, and remove some street...
Why This Matters: Walk, bike, or drive on 14 Avenue N.W.? This redesign affects your daily commute. The proposed multi-use path could make cycling safer, but parking on the south side would disappear. If you use Lions Park LRT or shop at North Hill Centre, these changes shape how you get around.

But it's in remote northern Quebec, raising questions about impacts on water, wildlife, and Indigenous communities. If you care about how Canada balances...
