Neighbourhood Reconstruction is scheduled for Alberta Avenue as part of the 2019-22 construction program.

During construction, Canada Post may choose to temporarily suspend mail delivery. If this happens, you should receive a notice of temporary suspension with information about which depot your mail is at, and how to claim it. If you are not receiving your mail but have not received a suspension notification, please call Canada Post Customer Service at 1-800-267-1177.

Construction Update - Spring 2019

Construction is now underway in Alberta Avenue. The construction includes removal and replacement of street lighting, public sidewalk, curb and gutter, as well as reconstruction and paving of the road. This map of Alberta Avenue identifies the work planned for 2019. 

The April Bulletin contains important project and contact information for residents and property owners. The Prime Contractor working for the City will deliver bulletins outlining the estimated start/finish dates of each portion of the project, along with their contact information.

The City thanks residents and property owners for their patience as we make these improvements.

Project History

Project Update - February 2019

Thank you to those who attended the Alberta Avenue Neighbourhood Renewal event on Thursday February 7 to view the final designs for your neighbourhood and learn more about what to expect during the planned 4-year construction. 

The final neighbourhood designs were developed based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process from January to October 2018, and also considered City policies, programs, and technical considerations. The final neighbourhood designs include:

  • Upgraded residential streets, including measures to slow traffic
  • Improved connections for people who walk and bike
  • Enhanced park and green spaces

Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in the Sidewalk Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 21, 2019, which included information about the Sidewalk Local Improvement and a form for those who wished to petition against the sidewalk reconstruction. For property owners in Alberta Avenue, the deadline for the petition was February 20, 2019.

These were based on feedback received throughout the public engagement process, which started in January.
