Exploring Options and Tradeoffs

This is your city and your neighbourhood. We aim to understand how you experience your neighbourhood and ask for your input on what we might do to make it better.

Neighbourhood Renewal focuses on the renewal of roads, sidewalks*, street lights and open spaces. This project is driven by City policy and standards and considers technical requirements and public feedback through each stage to come to a final design. We commit to being open and transparent about how your input is used. It is important to note that local knowledge is valued, but it cannot change policy direction.

*Sidewalk reconstruction is subject to the local improvement process: edmonton.ca/transportation/on_your_streets/local-improvements

The Project Team cares about your neighbourhood. We've worked to understand the opportunities your neighbourhood and developed ideas about how we can make improvements. Our plan, outlined in the Neighbourhood Renewal Road Map, shows when and how you can give feedback and get involved.

We are in the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage of the project.


Vision and Guiding Principles
