Closing Streets, Alleys or Sidewalks
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 Permit Coordinator five (5) working days before filming:
- The streets where the filming is to take place
- Number of traffic lanes to be closed
- Existing regulations on the street such as parking/no parking zones, meters, rush-hour limits, handicapped parking, etc.
- How access will be maintained to adjacent businesses/residential areas
- Detailed description of the filming to be done
- Date and times of the 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:
- Adequate alternate routes are available
- Adequate access is assured to adjacent businesses/residential areas
- Public transit can be maintained on the portion of the street to be closed or on adjacent streets
Major streets will not be closed during the high volume traffic periods.
Calgary Police Service officers may be required to undertake traffic control duties for any on-street filming that will affect or interfere with traffic.
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 calendar.
