The project A Passage for Two is the combination of a gateway plaza and a street design plan with the intent of connecting two bordering neighborhoods located in Calgary, Inglewood and Ramsay. 

The city expects to complete its new LRT Green Line by 2026, and one of the new stations will be situated within the project area. 151 Plaza celebrates 151 years of local history and embraces both neighborhoods as a connecting passage. Also suggested complete street design plan that encompasses five different transportation options: pedestrian, people on cycles, motorizes vehicles, public transit, and train, reinforcing linkages within the city destinations. 

A Passage for Two ensures a vibrant public space for current and future residents. The terraced plaza embedded on existing land creates an extensive atmosphere  upon entering the plaza from the north, whereas the plaza effortlessly delivers a sense of convergence drawing people from the south. At its completion, 12th Street will form a new commercial spine of the two neighborhoods.
