Bearspaw Marina says new city barriers block only access road

The marina operator says newly installed barriers on the roadway leading to the site have cut off the business's established access, prompting an urgent appeal to city officials.

Why it matters

Blocked access could threaten the marina's ability to operate and serve customers during the summer boating season.

Bearspaw Marina is asking the City of Calgary to take 'immediate corrective action' after barriers recently installed along the road leading to the site obstructed what the business describes as its established access route.

According to the marina, the barriers went up without adequate warning or alternative arrangements, leaving the business unable to move vehicles, customers or supplies in and out as it normally would.

The marina has appealed directly to the city, framing the situation as urgent given the impact on day-to-day operations. It is calling for the barriers to be addressed quickly so access can be restored.
