Project Update - July 2022
Thank you to everyone who engaged with us on the Building a Project Vision Together and Exploring Opportunities stages of the project. We appreciate everyone who took the time to provide feedback through the online survey and community conversations and participated in the virtual workshop and community walk.
The feedback gathered will be used to improve the Gariepy neighbourhood and we look forward to connecting with you in the fall for the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage of the project.

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 Gariepy neighbourhood reconstruction. Alley Renewal involves alley reconstruction and repaving, improvements to surface drainage where possible, and upgrading of existing alley lighting to LED fixtures. Utility assessments and repairs, along with removals and pruning of trees and shrubs, are also completed.
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 upgrades in the neighbourhood. Arterial roads are not included in the scope of work.
