Hay bale cycle tracks and chalk-drawn bike lanes were on display in Capitol Hill as the City of Calgary tried out a new form of community engagement on Saturday. Rather than those static displays, Saturday's event on 20th Avenue N.W. had more of a block party feel, with food, music and residents riding their bikes down possible future cycle tracks to get a feel for what their community could look like. The city set up temporary cycle tracks on a stretch of 20th Avenue N.W., so residents could try out potential infrastructure. The city is looking at how 20th Avenue could evolve over time to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
