Building Great Neighbourhoods - Alberta Avenue

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. Forms must be submitted within 30 days. For property owners in Alberta Avenue, the deadline for the petition is February 20, 2019.

If you attended the event, please complete our event evaluation before Friday February 15, 2019 to tell us how we did.

Project History

Preliminary Plan Event - October 29, 2018

The City of Edmonton hosted an event to share the Preliminary Plans for new infrastructure in Alberta Avenue.

The Preliminary Plans include:

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

The preliminary plans were based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process, which started in January. The past input helped the project team refine the concept designs further and prioritize improvements to be completed with Neighbourhood Renewal. The designs also considered technical constraints, City policies/programs and available budget. Information about the next steps and staging for construction, beginning in 2019, were also provided.
