Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership AGM and Site Tour

June 24, 2015 @ 9:45 am - 4:15 pm

Save Wednesday, June 24th for a busy day touring Low Impact Development sites in Calgary and participate in the Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership (ALIDP) Annual General Meeting. Lunch included. No cost for ALIDP partners.

Tour starts at 9:45 a.m. from North Glenmore Park. Look for the Sunshine Coach bus. Sites on the tour include:

  • Two parking lot bioretention retrofits
  • Three park bioretention retrofits
  • One extensive green roof featuring native plants (tentative)
  • Private sites featuring on-site water-management landscaping features
  • Three stormwater ponds and their features and challenges
  • Two LID subdivision redevelopments

Some of the areas we will be visiting:

Quarry Park is a mixed development on a former gravel pit site. It includes a high-end Business Park, commercial areas and residences. A creative stormwater management approach was needed in order to overcome challenges, including being below the 1:100 year water level of the Bow River. Lessons learned in the planning, design and construction of this subdivision will be presented and discussed.

Currie Barracks is the final major area to be redeveloped on the former CFB Calgary lands. It incorporates numerous LID features in both public and private realms.

The Lincoln Park Business Centre is a 100 acre business park development located adjacent to the 50 Avenue SW and Crowchild Trail interchange on the west side of Crowchild Trial in southwest Calgary. The major site developer is ATCO. Street infrastructure is being installed including roadside bioretention.
