Building Great Neighbourhoods - Grandview Heights

Main page content begins here

Grandview Heights neighbourhood renewal started in summer 2020.

Construction Update - August 2020

The 2020 Grandview Heights construction season began in June. This is the first year of the 2-year neighbourhood renewal for this neighbourhood. In June, work began with the relocation and upgrading of drainage structures throughout the neighbourhood.

In July, the renewal of concrete structures including sidewalks and curbs started at Grandview Drive and 125 Street. Twenty per cent of the concrete work and 90% of the drainage work planned for 2020 were completed.

This month, it is anticipated that all of the drainage work will be completed, about half of the concrete work will be installed and excavation work will be underway for the new shared-use path on 62 Avenue and Grandview Drive.

Local Improvement

Residents in Grandview Heights had the opportunity to participate in the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 27, 2020 which included information about the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement and a form for those who wished to petition against sidewalk reconstruction. The 30-day petition period has since expired. Since the City did not receive a majority (50% +1) of petitions against the local improvements, sidewalk reconstruction will be moving forward throughout the duration of the project.   

If you have questions regarding the Local Improvement process specifically, please contact localimprovement@edmonton.ca.
