Canmore, AB – 2010

Lombard North Group was commissioned to design the landscape architectural portions of the pedestrian crossing and trail system in Canmore. Encompassing over half a kilometre, including a pedestrian underpass below the Trans-Canada Highway, the trail system creates a safe and efficient link between north and south Canmore.  Along with providing conceptual drawings which were used in public consultations, Lombard North Group also provided construction supervision of the landscape architectural work related to the pedestrian underpass and trail system. Lombard North worked as a sub-consultant to Associated Engineering.

Calgary, AB – 2001

Calgary’s Crowchild Trail Corridor involved the design and development of the landscape treatments along the road corridor from Charleswood Drive to Nosehill Drive NW.  The landscape design incorporated screening, retaining walls, visual and sound attenuation.  Public engagement and community stakeholder consultation was an important aspect of the design process.

Banff National Park – Current

Lombard North Group has been involved in the twinning of the Trans-Canada Highway from the east gate of Banff National Park to the B.C. border for more than 20 years. Stretching over 85kms and crossing numerous wildlife movement corridors, the twinning of the Trans-Canada Highway has provided the unique opportunity to create new structures that safely connect mountain habitats with the adjacent Bow River valley. Working with Parks Canada wildlife biologists and the distinctive mountain environment of Banff National Park, Lombard North has assisted in the creation of new fully landscaped animal crossings that fit seamlessly into the environment.

Banff National Park

After more than 20 years of environmental planning, consultation and design, an additional 20 years of construction, and more than 55 individual project sites, it is nearly impossible to adequately describe the vast scope of landscape architectural elements that have been integrated into the Trans Canada Highway Twinning project in Banff National Park.  Landscape architectural enhancements including both traditional techniques and a variety of innovative experiments and new approaches not previously tried in Canadian mountain environments.  Experimental development of slope modification and restoration treatments to mitigate visual impacts, new soil development programs, and special features to accommodate and protect wildlife, have all set new precedents for other regional ecological designs.  The landscape architectural design for the TCH was based on principles of environmental sensitivity, rehabilitation and conservation while enhancing the overall visual experience for the visitor, truly making this “No Ordinary Highway”.

Beiseker, AB – 2010

Lombard North Group and municipal engineers MPE provided the landscape architectural services for the downtown revitalization for the town of Beiseker.  By conducting extensive public engagement reviews with both the Town and adjacent businesses to determine user needs, Lombard North Group was able to develop multiple conceptual designs and phasing options to guide future development to enhance the urban experience.  The scope of work includes the development of medians, boulevards, paving patterns, pedestrian access and planting design.
