A street scene in Old Strathcona

The Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy (OSPRS) will envision a new future for parks, plazas, parking lots, sidewalks, alleys and streets. A series of design ideas have been drafted that explore possible improvements.

The Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy will imagine a new future for parks, plazas, sidewalks, streets and alleys within Old Strathcona.

Within the project boundary, there are 2 strategy areas to address the unique needs and objectives of each area, while still working together to create a cohesive direction for Old Strathcona.

The project area boundary map shows the existing parks in the overall area and provides context for the improvements proposed in the design ideas.

Using the feedback collected in Phase 1 of the project, as well as a technical analysis and policy review, the City has drafted design ideas that explore improvements for each strategy area. The design ideas are intended to be conceptual examples featuring possibilities. Detailed design and the exact locations of elements will be determined as part of future work.
