The City is prepared to close streets, alleys, lanes or sidewalks to allow for actual filming. As "No Parking" signs must be posted 24 hours in advance of the filming, the following information is required by the Film, Television & Creative Industries office five (5) working days before filming:
Streets in the downtown core (Bow River to 12 Ave. South and 6 St. East to 11 St. West) will not be closed during the normal business day unless:
Calgary Police Service officers may be required to undertake traffic control duties for any on-street filming that will affect or interfere with traffic. Traffic Engineering will determine if police assistance is required prior to issuing permits. All costs associated with the hiring of pay duty officers will be paid for by the applicant.
The City of Calgary Roads - Permits area will set the conditions on Street Use Permits for street, alley, and sidewalk closures. Failure to adhere to, or exceed the permit conditions, will result in the permit being revoked and all work suspended for the remaining portion of that project.
NOTE: The applicant must sign the front page of the permit, at the bottom left corner where is says "Applicant's Signature" and sign/initial the bottom of the second page entitled "Street Use Permit Conditions" and return it to Traffic Engineering before the document is considered to be valid.
