Building Great Neighbourhoods

Hillview has been chosen for Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal. Construction began in spring 2025.

Construction Update - February 2026

Planning and design has been underway for Hillview Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal since May 2022. The Project Team has worked to create a design that meets current City standards, policies and technical considerations and considers public input.

Construction on the neighbourhood alleys began in spring 2025 and now the time has come to start Preparing for Construction on your neighbourhood streets!

We invite you to learn and ask questions about the local improvement process. A commissioner of oaths will be on hand for any property owner looking to submit a petition against the sidewalk reconstruction.

About the Project

Neighbourhood Renewal rehabilitates residential roads, replaces street lights, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and adds missing sidewalk links, where possible. Other opportunities to improve how people walk, bike, roll, drive and gather in the neighbourhood, and how they enjoy City-owned parks and open spaces are also explored.

Alley Renewal will be included as part of the Hillview neighbourhood reconstruction. Alley Renewal involves alley reconstruction and repaving, improvements to surface drainage where possible, and upgrading of existing alley lighting to LED fixtures. The community will also see work in the alley to locate underground utilities for design preparation, prior to construction.

A series of public events will be scheduled by the project team which will give residents the opportunity to build a project vision and guiding principles together and provide regular feedback on the different stages of the project including design.

Cost-sharing opportunities will be made available through the local improvement process for sidewalk reconstruction and decorative street light in the neighbourhood. Arterial and collector roads (Woodvale Road, 36A Avenue and 58 Street) are not included in the scope of work.

2025 Construction Updates

November 2025

Neighbourhood Renewal construction in Hillview has wrapped up for the 2025 construction season!

2025 construction began in May and was finished the third week of October. The 2025 construction season was a success and we completed all planned construction including the reconstruction of the alleys throughout the community, along with underground infrastructure work and any adjacent concrete flatwork and landscaping.

Neighbourhood Renewal work will resume in the Hillview Neighbourhood in the spring of 2026, weather permitting. The planned scope for 2026 will include construction on the front streets. Construction phasing will be shared in the spring. Prior to work resuming, construction notifications will be delivered to impacted residences.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we completed another successful year of neighbourhood renewal construction. Construction in the Hillview Neighbourhood began in spring 2025 and is expected to take 3 years (fall 2027).

Neighbourhood renewal in the Hillview Neighbourhood is progressing on time and on budget.
