Hillview has been chosen for Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal. Planning and design is currently underway.

Exploring Options and Tradeoffs - June 2023

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us on the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage of the Hillview Neighbourhood Renewal project.

The online survey closed on June 23, 2023 and we appreciate everyone who took the time to provide their feedback through the in-person event, the survey, emails and phone calls with the Project Team. We will use City Policy, technical analysis and your input to create a draft design to share with your community in late 2023.

The Exploring Options and Tradeoffs Engagement Summary is now available.

The Hillview Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal Draft Designs are now available.

We look forward to seeing you later this year to gather Community Feedback on Draft Design for your neighbourhood.

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.

Please see this map for work planned as part of the Hillview Renewal.

Working Together to Make the Most out of Your Neighbourhood

The Building Great Neighbourhoods project team are genuinely interested guests, stepping into your neighbourhood like a visitor in your home. We want to learn and appreciate how you live and what you value in your community. Through public engagement we will gain an understanding about what you need and value in your neighbourhood.

We seek to involve you in decision making to shape the vision for engagement and neighbourhood improvements. Working together, we can make the most out of your neighbourhood.

How to Get Involved

We have created a road map to help you and your neighbours understand the steps of the renewal process and how you can participate. At each step we will tell you what the purpose is and how your input will inform the decisions being made. We commit to report back on how we used your input.

Concept Phase

The Concept phase is when we need to hear from you the most! We need your help to co-create a vision and guiding principles, explore opportunities, and explore options and tradeoffs. These are the most important pieces for your Neighbourhood Renewal and will be used to create a draft design to best meet your neighbourhood needs.

Design Phase

During the Design phase, we want your input on the refined designs for your neighbourhood. Your feedback will be incorporated into the final design, alongside technical requirements and City policies. These designs were created from the vision and guiding principles we co-created together. You shared your input, we incorporated your feedback, now we build!

Build Phase

During the Build phase, we want to hear your concerns about how construction may affect your private property.
