The Menisa Neighbourhood has been chosen for Alley Renewal. Planning and design is currently underway.
Thank you to everyone who engaged with the Project Team on the Menisa Alley Renewal project.
A What We Heard and What We Decided Report is now available.
Construction of this project has been prioritized for 2027-2030. Construction timelines will be confirmed following approval of the 2027-2030 Capital Budget later this year.
Sign up to receive news and updates on Menisa Alley Renewal below.
As part of the Neighbourhood Renewal program, Alley Renewal outlines a cost-effective, long-term strategic approach to renew and rebuild alleys. Alley Renewal involves alley reconstruction and repaving, improvements to surface drainage, where possible, and upgrading existing alley lighting to LED fixtures. Opportunities to improve active mode connections (for walking, rolling and biking) and traffic safety are also explored.
During the project, the Project Team will seek community feedback to guide the Alley Renewal process and design.
New alley lighting can be made available through a Local Improvement process, if property owners are interested.
Utility location work will take place in the alleys in Menisa, starting in the next few weeks.
The utility work may include surface markings (spray paint on pavement and flags placed in the ground) as well as surveying utilities through holes drilled in the alley surface. During this work, holes may be temporarily covered with steel plates and the alley surface will be restored once the utility location work is complete.
Thank you to everyone who engaged with the Project Team during the Starting the Conversation stage of Menisa Alley Renewal. The online survey closed on May 4. The feedback gathered will be used to help the Project Team understand how you use alleys and identify opportunities for improvement.
The public engagement activities and participation are summarized in the Engagement Summary.
A report summarizing your feedback and the final decisions for the project will be available in the coming months.
In Fall 2025, we will provide an update on the project, including next steps and opportunities to stay informed as we move forward.
Project initiation for Menisa Alley Renewal is underway. Utility location work will take place in the alleys in your area over the fall of 2023.
Utility location work may include surface markings (spray paint on pavement and flags placed in the ground) as well as surveying utilities through holes drilled in the alley surface. During this work holes may be temporarily covered with steel plates and the alley surface will be restored once the utility locate work is complete.
We look forward to sharing more information on the program and gathering Community Feedback on the project in 2024. Please see the scope map for more details.
During the Planning and Design Phase you are invited to learn about the Alley Renewal project in your neighbourhood. We need your help to understand how you use the alleys in your neighbourhood and to explore possible improvements. Your feedback will be used to create a design that best meets your neighbourhood needs.
