When an independent developer begins a residential or commercial project they also develop the roadways to accommodate any traffic impact from the future development. These projects are funded and managed exclusively by the developer. It is the City of Edmonton’s responsibility to ensure the developers are complying with the approved standards and specifications.
Phase 1: Concept
Within the Concept Phase, all aspects of the project are developed and assessed. At this stage, the project's scope is developed and concept plans are drawn up.
This phase involves looking at all aspects of the project from the design and duration to the cost and overall impact on residents.
Once the project plan has been completely developed, then a decision to go forward into the Design Phase will be made.
Phase 2: Design
The Design Phase is important to finalize all of the strategies developed in the Concept Phase. All design details and construction methods are defined and identified and a project plan is finalized for approval.
Phase 3: Build
Once the design has been completed and approved for construction, the project moves into the Build Phase. The projects in this section will be either awaiting the start of construction or construction is underway.
Although the construction is carried out by the Developer, the City will ensure that it adheres to the previously approved design plan and the City of Edmonton Design and Construction specifications.
Current Developer Arterial Projects
About the Project
Due to continued growth in northeast Edmonton, the intersection of 167 Avenue and 66 Street requires upgrades to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes.
The communities of Schonsee, McConachie, Ozerna and Matt Berry are adjacent to the project area along 167 Avenue and 66 Street in northeast Edmonton. These neighbourhoods are existing and developing communities, which are growing through continued investment by private developers, governed by various City of Edmonton plans.
To support continued growth within these neighbourhoods and for future developments, the existing arterial roadway intersection of 167 Avenue and 66 Street is being upgraded to a modern 2-lane roundabout.
A roundabout at 167 Avenue and 66 Street was chosen over a signalized intersection due to a comprehensive traffic analysis. This analysis demonstrated that the roundabout design offers superior traffic flow management and enhanced safety, ensuring smoother and more efficient movement of vehicles.
The roundabout design also allows for a simpler staging plan and lower long-term infrastructure costs, while meeting current Canadian roadway design standards. When complete, the intersection will accommodate growth in vehicular traffic and enhance connectivity within the surrounding areas. Please see the Roundabout Information Sheet for general information about roundabouts.
This project is led and funded by Collegewoods II, on behalf of the City of Edmonton. Infrastructure improvements under this project include the removal of the existing signalized intersection and the construction of new sewer systems, arterial road surfaces, power and street lighting, shallow utilities, shared pathways, and landscaping.
Construction on 167 Avenue will occur within about 200m to the east and west of 66 Street. Construction on 66 Street will occur from 165 Avenue to 170 Avenue.
Please see the 167 Avenue and 66 Street Roundabout Construction Brochure and 167 Avenue and 66 Street Roundabout Construction FAQ for complete details of the project.
