Can Stephen Avenue be saved?

Stephen Avenue, the outdoor pedestrian mall in the heart of Calgary’s downtown, has changed in recent years. Once bustling with shoppers and tourists, the area is quieter now, with a regular police presence to monitor for crime and social disorder. Call it... an Eighth Avenue Heartache. The city wants to bring back that atmosphere and foot traffic, so it's working to revitalize Stephen Ave - one block at a time. Jenny talks to city project manager Amy Stansky about what’s been accomplished so far, and the challenges of getting more cash in the next budget cycle, given other major infrastructure work that needs doing in Calgary. This is Calgary is produced by CBC and hosted by Jenny Howe. Thoughts? Story ideas? [email protected]
