PENN WEST
PEDESTRIAN + 15
Part of downtown Calgary’s elevated “Plus-15” walkway system, this walkway is located along 9th Avenue at the end of 2nd Street S.W. reaching from Penn West Plaza to the Gulf Canada Square in a sweeping curve that has become Calgary’s longest Plus-15.
The design involves a single mast with radial cable supports, giving the walkway a pendulous appearance, and drawing attention to its location as an important visual stop at the end of 2nd Street.
