Building Great Neighbourhoods

Neighbourhood Renewal in Inglewood was completed in 2021.

Parks and Open Spaces

Improvements to John A. Norris Park, Linear Park and Rocketship Park also occurred in 2021. If you have any questions or concerns, please email openspacesdelivery@edmonton.ca.

Inglewood Park

Construction on the Inglewood Park Redevelopment is scheduled to begin in June with completion anticipated in September 2022.

The project will include installation of a spray park with an external water filling station, concrete pads to accommodate new park furnishings and replacement/upgrades to existing park furnishings such as benches and picnic tables.

John A. Norris Park

128 Street and 112 Avenue

Construction of the new community space which includes a new shelter structure and walking path, has been completed. Due to delivery delays, park furniture (picnic tables and benches) will be installed in November 2021 and will not impact opening the park for public use. The final portion of construction will be the installation of additional lighting within the park which will be completed in 2022.

Linear Park

East side of 122 Street between 111 Avenue and 118 Avenue

Construction included improvements to the existing pathway and construction of a new separate dogs off-leash park has been completed. The only work remaining is the completion of the path lighting, which will occur over the winter of 2021/2022.

Winnifred Stewart Park

Construction on the Winnifred Stewart Park project is scheduled to begin in June with completion anticipated in September 2022.

The project will include an addition of a connector walkway to the north east/west corner of the park, a large semicircular area where the new pathway meets the existing sidewalk to the south, a new picnic table with suitable seating and new plantings.

About the Program

Inglewood has been chosen for reconstruction, beginning in spring 2019, with completion expected for 2021.

Neighbourhood reconstruction is a type of neighbourhood renewal that involves road reconstruction and repaving, as well as replacement of streetlights and reconstruction of sidewalks, curb and gutter. Alley renewal is not part of neighbourhood reconstruction. It also includes the opportunity for two local improvements, sidewalk renewal and decorative streetlights. Inglewood's neighbourhood reconstruction will also include the delivery of the 127 Street corridor concept plan that was developed in 2015 through extensive public engagement.

Project History

Construction Update - Fall 2021

The Inglewood Neighbourhood Renewal has been completed! Construction began in May and was completed in October. During this final year of construction, we completed the following:

127 Street to Groat Road from 111 Avenue to 114 Avenue including road reconstruction, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lighting, and landscaping
A Shared Use Path (SUP) on the north side of 114 Avenue
The installation of a traffic circle at the intersection St Albert Trail and 114 Avenue as a traffic calming measure used to slow traffic

With the landscaping portion of the renewal being completed in October 2021, there will be portions of the work that may require some minor repairs come spring 2022.

The final portion of the renewal will be the replacement of lighting in the alley. This is scheduled to begin in the early portion of 2022 throughout the whole of Inglewood.

Construction Update - Spring 2021

We are entering the third year of the planned 3-year construction of Inglewood. Construction is progressing on time and on budget. For a breakdown of the planned projects by number in the neighbourhood, see the Project Map.

The 2020 construction season was a success and we completed all planned construction in project areas 13, 14, and the majority of 15. The completed work included roadways, sidewalks, drainage and a portion of the street lighting. The landscaping was only complete up to topsoil, so starting in may of 2021 the landscapers will be onsite to top-dress the topsoil and start installing sod.

Street lighting will continue in all previous project areas as well as start in the remaining project areas of 16 and 17 this summer.

The 2021 construction season will include the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs and gutters, as well as street lighting. Reconstruction and paving of the roads in the project areas of 15 (remainder along 114 Avenue), 16, 17 will also be completed.

Please watch your mailbox for construction bulletins that will provide more information along with detail for any concerns regarding landscaping and access.

Construction Bulletin

Construction Update - December 2020

We are through the second year of 3-year planned construction for Inglewood. For a breakdown of the planned projects by number in the neighbourhood, please see the Project Map.

The removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs and gutters and roadways is complete in projects 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Not all the sod in projects 13, 14 and 15 was installed so we will be returning in early spring to finish the landscaping.

The outstanding landscaping from 2019 is complete (projects 10, 11 and 12).
Street lighting in projects 12, 13, 14, and 15 is ongoing and includes running new conduit, drilling new pole bases, then installing new poles and re-energizing the lights. EPCOR is energizing the new poles and completing their quality control checks while removing the old pole bases; this work will continue through 2021.

Neighbourhood renewal work will resume in Inglewood in May 2021, weather pending. Prior to work resuming, construction notifications will be delivered to impacted residences. We are pleased to report that, with the completion of 2020 work, Inglewood remains on schedule with a planned completion date of November 2021.

Public Engagement on Linear Park Renewal - September 2020

As part of Inglewood’s neighbourhood renewal, Linear Park will also be renewed starting in 2021. The City is proposing enhancements to improve the usage, beauty and safety of Linear Park. These changes will offer new and different uses of the parks and improve how all users access or travel through the park. During Inglewood neighbourhood renewal, public engagement input was used, along with technical requirements, policy, and program information to identify key functions and design features of Linear Park.

Community Feedback on Draft Design

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback on the Draft Design for Linear Park in our September survey.

Changes Proposed

We are looking at some enhancements to improve the use, beauty and safety of Linear Park. These changes will offer new and different uses of the parks and improve how all people use or travel through the park.

What We Decided

Construction Update - August 2020

We are halfway through the second year of planned 3-year construction for Inglewood. For a breakdown of the planned projects by number in the neighbourhood, see the Project Map.

Construction in 2020 includes the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curb and gutters, roadways as well as street lighting. The landscaping is working in close proximity to the concrete work this year with hopes to have over 80% of the sod down prior to the end of the summer construction season.

Street lighting in projects 10 and 11 are now complete. EPCOR is now working in projects 12, 13, 14 and 15, which includes running new conduit, drilling new pole bases, then installing new poles and re-energizing the lights. The decorative poles started to come into stock over the winter so EPCOR will be replacing the old poles. As they go along and energize the new poles and complete their quality control checks, they will be removing the old pole bases.

Construction Update - Spring 2020

We are entering the second year of planned 3-year construction for Inglewood. For a breakdown of the planned projects by number in the neighbourhood, see the Project Map.

The 2019 construction season was a success and we completed all planned construction in project 10, 11 and 12 which included the roadways, sidewalks, drainage and a portion of the street lighting. The landscaping was only complete up to topsoil so in June and July, the landscapers will be onsite to top dress the topsoil and start installing sod.

Street lighting will continue in projects 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 this summer. The decorative poles started to come into stock over the winter so EPCOR will be replacing the old poles.

The 2020 construction season will include the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs and gutters, as well as street lighting. Reconstruction and paving of the roads in projects 13, 14 and 15 will also be completed.

Please watch your mailbox for construction bulletins that will provide more information along with contact details for any concerns regarding landscaping and access.

Drop-in Event - August 2018

On August 16, 2018, the City hosted an event to seek input on concepts for the Inglewood neighbourhood. Attendees were asked to:

Explore and provide feedback on different options for Building Great Neighbourhoods - Inglewood Neighbourhood Renewal:
- Share your comfort level with different options to enhance your experience walking, biking and driving in Inglewood
- Provide your feedback on the temporary examples of traffic calming measures that were installed leading up to and after the event
- Take a guided walking tour of the measures to learn more about them
Learn about the Neighbourhood Revitalization program and the exciting opportunity it brings to Inglewood

Traffic Calming Measures

The City installed temporary examples of traffic-calming measures in the Inglewood neighbourhood two days before the event at the following locations:

115 Avenue and 125 Street
115 Avenue east of 126 Street
116 Avenue and 125 Street
117 Avenue and 126 Street (south side)
117 Avenue west of 126 Street

Each location features a different traffic-calming measure that could help address speeding and shortcutting in your neighbourhood. They will help residents to get an idea of what they look and feel like and how they impact travel in your neighbourhood. These will be in place for about two weeks and you can provide feedback for each measure through the survey boards located near each location. Your input on these example measures will help inform decisions on types and locations for final traffic-calming measures in Inglewood. Concepts will be shared to the public in the fall for further feedback.
