An Ode to Tuscany

This entry was posted in Community Affairs Community Association on by

The community of Tuscany is one of the special communities in Calgary. It is unique in that it was one of the first master planned neighbourhoods.  You can still feel the detail and intention: the embrace of nature and lots of parks and green space for kids to play, the awesome pathway system, the quiet cul-de-sacs and the thoughtful mix of housing from apartments, townhouses, villas, single family homes of various home sizes and the awesome age 50+ complex of the Sierra’s of Tuscany that keeps many grandparents close to their grandkids. Our commercial areas keep things convenient and the Tuscany Club, run by the Tuscany Residents Association, is central for so many activities. It lights up every winter to the wonder and smiles of those young and young at heart. The LRT allows for easier access for many to the city, university and shops along the way. It’s not […]

Is it 1 or 2 lanes wide? The long standing debate is settled.

This entry was posted in Developments Uncategorized and tagged traffic on by

Recent traffic incidents have brought back the long standing debate in Tuscany about whether our roadways are 1 or 2 lanes wide.  Although many of you have had some great conversations on our local social media and other venues, it is time to get the official word. Our Calgary Policy Community Resource officer visited the TCA to bring attention to this topic following recent traffic incidents. The final word – Unless there are clear road markings that the road is 2 lanes, all unmarked roads are 1 lane only.  Yes, the single lane roads are wide in sections but they remain 1 lane roads with room to park on the side. For example, Tuscany Way NW heading north from Eric Harvie School is a 1 lane road the entire way until there are clear road markings just before 12 Mile Coulee Rd designating a change to a 2 lane road.  There have […]
