Transportation Master Plan

Ways to Go

Banff's integrated Transportation Master Plan, updated over a 14-month period, with significant public consultation, was adopted by Council in principle in May 2013. Several short-term and long-term recommended actions in five key areas will help achieve the Banff Community Plan vision of a transportation system that:

Diagonal Crossing Sign on an Intersection
  • Encourages and complements pedestrian movement and cycling
  • Enhances resident and visitor experience
  • Encourages the integration of local and regional transportation of people and goods
  • Is economically and environmentally sustainable
  • Transportation Master Plan (PDF)

Since adoption, the Town has piloted a number of the recommendations, resulting in traffic and parking changes.

  1. Why not add a fourth lane to the Bow River Bridge?
  2. Why doesn’t the Town build a new parkade?
  3. Why don’t you limit the number of cars that cross the Bow River Bridge, similar to the concept of restricting vehicles on the Moraine Lake Road?
  1. Why have scramble crosswalk intersections?
  2. How come the pedestrian crossing time at the scramble intersection is 25 seconds long?
  3. Why don’t you remove the mid-block crosswalks on Banff Avenue to eliminate traffic flow interruptions?
