Building a Project Vision and Exploring Opportunities

Neighbourhood Renewal is coming to Beacon Heights. Beacon Heights Neighbourhood Renewal will rebuild roads, replace street lights, curbs and gutters, repair sidewalks, and connect missing sidewalk and path links where possible. Planning for this renewal is just beginning with construction timing to be confirmed later in the project.

Beacon Heights is a historic neighbourhood in the northeast of Edmonton. Once part of the Town of Beverly before its amalgamation with Edmonton in 1961, it remains a largely residential community. The neighbourhood also includes a part of the Olde Towne Beverly business district, providing residents with access to a variety of shops, services, and community-oriented businesses.

*Sidewalk reconstruction is subject to the Local Improvement process: edmonton.ca/sidewalkreconstruction

We are in the Building a Project Vision and Exploring Opportunities stage of the project.

Building a Project Vision and Exploring Opportunities

The results from this engagement, along with technical and funding considerations and alignment with City policies and programs, will be used to REFINE how the Neighbourhood Renewal Vision and Guiding Principles are applied to Beacon Heights. These principles guide planning and design throughout the project in a way that reflects local context, priorities and considerations. The Vision and Guiding Principles describe the goals we aim to achieve through renewal. Your input will help identify how these goals should be interpreted, emphasized or adapted in the area.

At the REFINE level of influence, community members provide input to help tailor the Neighbourhood Renewal Vision and Guiding Principles to their local context and to identify opportunities for improvement. Community knowledge is combined with technical analysis and City policies to refine the project team’s understanding of the neighbourhood and to shape the options shared in later stages.

A map of the Beacon Heights neighborhood in Edmonton showing the street grid roughly between 50 St NW and 34 St NW. The map uses color-coded lines to distinguish between collector, local, and service roads. Labeled map pins identify key community locations, including schools, churches, parks, and the Beacon Heights Community League.








Some of the alleys between 118 Avenue and 119 Avenue will be renewed. However, the scope of the Alley Renewal work is still being decided and will be shared when complete.

For Neighbourhood Renewal projects, the City of Edmonton makes decisions using a combination of policy and program information, public input, technical requirements and available funding. This process helps to ensure the decisions we make are fiscally responsible, align with best practices, consider the existing public and private infrastructure, land uses and activities in the neighbourhood and result in the best outcomes for our city.

City policies and programs such as the Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards, Vision Zero Edmonton, Bike Plan Implementation Guide and Winter City Strategy provide the overall direction for Neighbourhood Renewal designs. As each neighbourhood is unique, the Project Team asks for input from residents who live, work and play in the neighbourhood and considers technical aspects such as roadway widths, and conflicts with utilities and trees to determine what will fit in the neighbourhood.

It’s important to note public engagement feedback is not a vote, nor is it a statistical representation of all residents. It does, however, provide an indication of local concerns and desires. Input received through Neighbourhood Renewal public engagement cannot change policy direction.

Behind the arrow, two overlapping circles represent "Public Input" (red) and "Technical Requirements" (purple), showing their influence on project decisions.

At the REFINE level of influence, community members provide input to help the Project Team understand what elements best reflect community needs and priorities. All feedback is carefully considered, with possible adjustments made to how features such as crossings, pathways, green spaces or traffic calming measures are designed or located to better fit the neighbourhood while meeting technical and policy requirements.

The Project Team genuinely cares about your neighbourhood. We will work to understand your values, and the needs of your community and improve the neighbourhood. Working together, we can make the most out of your neighbourhood. The Neighbourhood Renewal road map showcases opportunities for feedback and participation throughout the project.
