About the Program

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

A series of public events will give residents the opportunity to view the design plans and discuss details with the project team.

Neighbourhood Reconstruction

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.

Project History

Previous Public Engagement Surveys

During the public engagement process for Strathcona Neighbourhood Renewal, the project team has used surveys as a tool to collect public input to inform the final design which was presented in September 2018. The surveys posted here are for reference only, the period for feedback on these specific questions has closed. Hundreds of factors needed consideration including input from the nearly 9,000 residents who live, work and play in Strathcona, each with individual needs, desires and opinions.

While all resident and stakeholder input and technical factors were considered, it was not possible to meet every need; compromises and trade-offs had to be made. The final design is the result of months of listening, learning, understanding, creating and balancing those needs. Decisions were made with both today and the future in mind, as the new infrastructure will be in place for the next 40 to 50 years.

The design included measures to reduce speeding and short-cutting, new bike infrastructure, pedestrian crossing enhancements/improvements as well as improvements to park spaces including Fred A. Moire Park and Tubby Bateman Park. Attendees also participated in a discussion on Councillor Henderson’s motion for a 30 km/h design speed for the entire neighbourhood.
