Construction Update - July 2024
The first year of Neighbourhood Renewal construction is underway in Boyle Street. Work will consist of reconstruction and paving of the roads and the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street lighting.
Catch basin replacements and relocations are complete for all Year 1 project areas. Concrete work is anticipated to be complete by mid July in the following roads south of Jasper Avenue:
- 92 Street
- 94 Street
- 94A Street
- 101A Avenue
- 96 Street
Topsoil and sod placement is anticipated to take place in August for these areas by Seven M Construction. The landscaping scope will be executed as the roadway work progresses throughout the neighbourhood.
North West Paving currently has a full closure of 103 Avenue from 97 Street to 96 Street and is removing sidewalks and the road in preparation for the streetscape installation.

The City of Edmonton and EPCOR are working together to construct Low Impact Development (LID), which will help with stormwater retention and help mitigate flooding.
For special concerns or access requirements, such as DATS, please contact the Construction Project Manager Ariel Couture at ariel.couture@edmonton.ca.
Construction in Boyle Street will begin in spring 2024 and is expected to take 2 years (planned completion fall 2025).
Local Improvement Options
A Local Improvement is a construction project undertaken near or adjacent to residents’ properties which is considered more beneficial to the property owner and local area than to the City as a whole. These include upgrades to street lights and sidewalks.
Residents in Boyle Street chose not to pursue decorative street lights, but had the opportunity to participate in the sidewalk Local Improvement decision.
Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 25, 2024 which included information about the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement and a form for those who wished to petition against. The 30-day petition period has since expired. Since the City did not receive majority (50% +1) petitions against the Local Improvement, sidewalk reconstruction will take place in all project areas over 2 years of construction for the neighbourhood.
