Between the Calgary Stampede Grounds and 14 Street SW, it is a commercial street—with bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and shops—which has been designated a Business Revitalization Zone, officially named 17th Ave Retail and Entertainment District.
From 14th Street to Sarcee Trail, it is flanked by a mix of residential and commercial space, with small strip malls, a retirement home, and denser commercial developments in the Westbrook Mall area. West of Sarcee Trail, it runs through suburban neighbourhoods and acreages, by Rundle College and Westside Recreation Centre.
The west extension of the C-Train light rail transit system runs along 17 Avenue west of 33 Street SW, as does the rapid bus transit.
