Preparing for Construction - April 2026

It’s the first year of Glenwood East Alley Renewal, and we are scheduled to start in July 2026. Work will consist of reconstruction and paving of the roads, removal and replacement of public sidewalk, curb, gutter and street lighting. 

This year, the majority of construction will take place in alleys from 163 Street to 160 Street south of 100 Avenue to 95 Avenue. Please view this scope map to see the 2026 construction area and review what to expect during Alley Renewal

Please watch your mailbox for construction bulletins that will provide more information along with details on landscaping and access. All residents and business owners are asked to access their homes and businesses through the back entrances and alleys, where possible, during construction. If no alley access is available and/or you have special access requirements (such as DATS or a temporary access ramp to the front of your home), please contact the Construction Project Manager, Clinton Mah, 780-496-4055, to coordinate.

Construction in Glenwood East will begin in July 2026 and is expected to complete in October 2027. Renewal in Glenwood East is progressing on time and on budget.

About the Project 

Alley Renewal involves alley reconstruction and repaving, improvements to surface drainage where possible, exploring opportunities to improve traffic safety and active mode connections (for walking, rolling and biking), and upgrading existing alley lighting to LED fixtures. 

If property owners are interested, there is an opportunity to request the City of Edmonton initiate a Local Improvement to add alley lighting. Utility assessments and repairs, along with removals and pruning of trees and shrubs, are also completed.
