Neighbourhood Renewal is expected to begin in Grandview Heights in spring 2020.

Project Update - February 2020

Thank you to those who attended the Grandview Heights Neighbourhood Renewal event on February 18 to view the final designs for your neighbourhood and learn more about what to expect during the planned 2-year construction. If you were unable to attend, you may view the event materials below. 

The final neighbourhood designs were developed based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process from December 2018 to November 2019, and also considered City policies, programs and technical considerations. The final neighbourhood designs include:

  • Upgraded residential streets, including measures to slow traffic

  • Improved connections for people who walk and bike

  • Enhanced park and green spaces

Local Improvements

Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in the Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 27, 2020, which included information about the sidewalk Local Improvement and a form for those who wished to petition against the sidewalk reconstruction. Forms must be submitted within 30 days. For property owners in Grandview Heights, the deadline for the petition is February 26, 2020.

Project Update - February 2019

At the Vision Confirmation and Community Options event on February 21, 2019, we explored opportunities around community green spaces and parks, connectivity and corridors, placemaking (creating public spaces that promote health, happiness and well-being) and how you move around your neighbourhood. Input gathered will be used to refine the vision and guiding principles and further explore areas of opportunity for Grandview Heights. If you were unable to attend, please view the event materials.
