West Rossdale : River Crossing

River Crossing is a long-term city-building initiative that will transform the western area of the Rossdale neighbourhood and the historic Rossdale Generating Station.

A Vision for River Crossing sees this area evolving over time into a vibrant community and special place in our city; a place that embraces and celebrates its rich history, and that creates excitement about our shared future.

Location

River Crossing includes the west portion of the Rossdale neighbourhood, the site of the historic Rossdale Generating Station, as well as the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River stretching from just west of the new Walterdale Bridge towards Fire Station 21.

Next steps

The Vision for River Crossing showcases the exciting opportunity that exists to transform this area through a number of interconnected projects. While it is recognized that these projects can have a positive collective impact on the neighbourhood and city, the City of Edmonton acknowledges that setting the path towards positive change requires significant and thoughtful consideration. It also requires significant engagement with many diverse citizens and stakeholders.

In April 2015, City Council endorsed the River Crossing vision, and directed the Administration to move forward with a number of actions to bring this vision to life. These include the development of a Heritage Interpretive Plan and a business plan for the area.
