Calgary Trail
Calgary Trail is a major one-way arterial road in south Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is a major commuter route for communities south of Edmonton, such as Leduc.
The road begins at Saskatchewan Drive in Old Strathcona as 104 Street, which runs as a two-way street until it reaches University Avenue. It continues in a southbound direction to 55 Avenue, when it becomes Calgary Trail. At Whitemud Drive, Highway 2 follows Calgary Trail. Near 31 Avenue, the road veers slightly to the east and a median is all that separates Calgary Trail from Gateway Boulevard (headed northbound). The road continues as a two-way freeway to the city limits and further south towards the Edmonton International Airport, Red Deer, and Calgary as the QE2 Highway.
== History ==
The road is the remnant of the northern terminus of the Calgary and Edmonton Trail, a land transport route between the fur trading posts of Fort Edmonton and Fort Calgary, used as far back as the early 1800.
Calgary Trail previously had Northbound and Southbound designations, and were renamed in 2001 as Gateway Boulevard and Calgary Trail, respectively. Initially, the name change met with some controversy.〔http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2000/08/25/ctrll000825.html 'Gateway Boulevard' idea may lead nowhere. CBC News, 2000-08-25.〕 The name Calgary Trail stood for many years, as this was Alberta's primary highway to Calgary following the rail lines. The rails no longer continue north past Whyte Avenue; however, CPR still has a rail yard serving the industrial district along the east side of Gateway Boulevard.
