Allan Stein Park Trail Renewal
Engagement has concluded
Image: Allan Stein Park- Lower Trail Erosion Damage
***This engagement has concluded and a What We Heard Report is now available.***
Allan Stein Park is in need of renewal due to portions of its lower trail having been damaged by erosion, posing a safety hazard for trail users. The City of Edmonton has determined the need to enhance the quality, performance, and safety of the trail network in this area. The park is located at 10025 87 Street in the Riverdale community.
Proposed improvements include:
Renewal of approximately 260m of the upper asphalt trail to current shared-use path design and construction standards
Closure and naturalization of either a portion, or all, of the lower granular trail that has eroded
Trail connections to the existing upper asphalt trail
Wayfinding and regulatory signage replacement
Memorial plaque replacement
Providing benches
The project will include the possible rerouting of a portion of the lower granular trail paralleling the upper asphalt trail along the riverbank. The lower trail portion has been damaged by erosion and is posing a safety hazard for trail users.
RENEWAL OPTIONS
The project is seeking input on two possible concept options for the lower granular trail. The two options are:
Option 1: Full closure of the lower granular trail: includes full closure and naturalization of approximately 230m of the lower trail and the renewal of the 270m upper paved trail. View the concept graphic for option 1.
Option 2: Partial closure of the lower granular trail: includes re-routing approximately 120m of granular trail around the required closure area and naturalization of the eroded closure area. This option still includes the renewal of the 270m upper paved trail. View the concept graphic for option 2. This option would continue to allow trail access closer to the river.
The merits of each option are compared in the Concept Options Comparison Table.
For further information on the project and two concept options, please review the presentation recording below. A copy of the presentation is available here.
PROJECT PHASES
Figure 1: Project phases
The project is currently in the Concept phase. The City is looking for feedback on the two concept options proposed for trail rerouting and improvements.
Please review the Allan Stein Park Trails project information and complete the survey, to let us know if:
you support either: 1) full closure, or 2) partial closure and the proposed rerouting, of the lower granular trail
if the City has overlooked anything
if the City should consider any other important factors that will inform this project
Please review the information on this page, including the draft concept plan(s) and the recorded presentation, then complete the survey (listed in the link below). Your feedback from the survey results will help advise the project team’s final design for Allan Stein Park's trails.
