A 'Bus Corridor' sign is posted at the current road closure on Costello BV/58 St SW to advise that this roadway is intended to serve as future bus corridor. This roadway connection was designed and constructed when the adjacent communities were being developed in the late 1970s and early 80s. This special roadway link is in accordance with approved community development plans contained within the Strathcona Design Brief planning document approved in 1976.

The roadway is designed and intended for use only by Calgary Transit buses and emergency vehicles. It is not intended that this road would ever be opened for regular automobile traffic.

As an emergency access, this road provides a critical time saving link for Fire and EMS responders to access southeast sections of Strathcona.

For transit service, the roadway was designed as a key future bus route link to connect the communities of Strathcona and Christie Park with the LRT station that will soon be built on the east side of the intersection of Costello Bv and 17 Av. This bus routing concept is consistent with the transportation network outlined in the Strathcona Design Brief document and with the plans recently approved for West LRT. To date, Calgary Transit has not required this bus connection to serve these communities.
