PREPARATION: The Firestone Site

We took a look at areas of the community with the most obvious development potential that would also have an immediate positive impact -- leading us to the old Firestone site on the corner of 19th Street and Memorial Drive. Our focus here is increasing community connection by adding additional access points to the Max Bell LRT Station, and redeveloping unused open spaces into flexible public areas - for things like outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and more.

Redeveloping this area will help Crossroads better prepare for future changes - in the community itself as well as Calgary as a whole - by increasing transit accessibility and converting unused land into usable social spaces.
