"If you’re worried about construction affecting the beloved patio season or any Stampede festivities on Stephen Avenue, there’s no need to worry. The City says that construction will pause for the summer, and patios on #StephenAvenue will be able to open in time for #Stampede 2026.
...
During construction, the intersection will be closed for approximately four weeks, depending on the weather, starting in late September or early October."

"#StephenAvenue is named after the Canadian Pacific Railway’s first president, Lord George Stephen, and was #Calgary’s main street in the 1890s. It was home to a number of important businesses such as the Hudson’s Bay Company, the #Alberta Hotel, and the Calgary Herald. For a time, it was the place to see and be seen, which is not too different from today."
