Construction & Traffic Impacts

Construction and Traffic Impacts in the Town of Banff.

The Banff townsite is just 3.94 sq. kilometres, which means it's fairly easy to get around. Locals like to walk and cycle everywhere, or Roam, on Banff's great public transit system.

Mass Transit Feasibility Study

The Calgary-Bow Valley Mass Transit Feasibility Study looks at bus and rail based options to provide mass transit along Highway 1.

Parking

The Town of Banff has on-street parking and four, free off-street parking lots with one-hour to 12-hour limits.

Roam Public Transit

Streets

The Town of Banff maintains approximately 86 kilometers of roadways plus alleys and eight parking lots. Shifts run from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week, and staff are on-call overnight. This means there is a streets crew member available 24/7/365. On-call staff can be activated by the streets supervisor or the RCMP.

Streetscape Design Guidelines

The Streetscape Design Guidelines are a planning document to help with street reconstruction projects in Banff. These guidelines will be applied to both municipal projects and private redevelopments so the Town’s transportation goals are reflected in the design
