2014 Neighbourhoods

About the Program

The City of Edmonton is Building Great Neighbourhoods. The Neighbourhood Renewal program outlines a cost effective, long-term strategic approach to renew and rebuild Edmonton’s roads, sidewalks, and streetlights in existing neighbourhoods and collector roadways throughout Edmonton.

The types of neighbourhood renewal projects vary depending upon the state of infrastructure. These include:

• Reconstruction
• Overlay
• Preventive Maintenance

2014 Neighbourhood Reconstruction

Neighbourhood reconstruction is part of the Building Great Neighbourhoods initiative. Reconstruction candidates have poor sidewalk condition and fair to poor road condition. During reconstruction, roads are repaved, and sidewalks and streetlights are replaced. Reconstruction is typically a two-year process.

In 2014, Neighbourhood reconstruction will begin in:

• Cromdale
• Glenora
• Laurier Heights (west of 139 Street)

Neighbourhood Renewal - Overlay

During overlay, roads are repaved and sidewalk panels treated to eliminate safety hazards.  During construction, access to the area under construction is limited and parking restrictions are enforced.  Prior to the start of work, a construction bulletin is sent outlining the work to be done and parking restrictions.

Neighbourhood Renewal - Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance involves microsurfacing of the roads in which they are resealed with a thin asphalt surface. Depending on the scope of work, preventive maintenance may take between several days or several weeks to complete. Prior to the start of work, a construction bulletin will be sent out outlining the work to be done and parking restrictions.
