Building Great Neighbourhoods - Lorelei/Beaumaris

Local Improvement Update

Residents in Lorelei had the opportunity to participate in the Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 27, 2020 which included information about the sidewalk and decorative street lighting Local Improvements and a form for those who wished to petition against either decorative street lighting or sidewalk reconstruction. The 30-day petition period has since expired. Decorative lighting was defeated and will not be proceeding. No sidewalk reconstruction projects within the neighbourhood were petitioned against. Sidewalk reconstruction will be moving forward throughout the duration of the project.   

If you have questions regarding the Local Improvement process specifically, please contact: localimprovement@edmonton.ca.

Residents in Beaumaris will have the opportunity to participate in the Local Improvement decision.

In Beaumaris, the expression of interest for the decorative street lighting Local Improvement will go out this fall and the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement petition will take place in early 2021.

What We Heard Report

The final neighbourhood designs were developed based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process from November 2018 to November 2019, 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 27, 2020, which included information about the Sidewalk Local Improvement and a form for those who wished to petition against the sidewalk reconstruction.
