Infill - Staying Informed about Infill in Your Neighbourhood
The City understands that Edmontonians have questions and concerns about infill in their neighbourhood, and construction taking place near where you live can be unsettling. Check out our information sheet about infill in your neighbourhood so you can know what to expect, how to stay informed about infill, including notifications, and how to report construction complaints. You can also visit edmonton.ca/Infill to learn more and download the information sheet.
While most impacts of construction are temporary and considered typical, residents may still have concerns. We encourage you to contact the builder first, as they may be able to resolve your concern quickly. Following that, if further resolution is needed, use the 311 app, submit a 311 ticket online using the construction site concerns request form or call 311. These are the best ways to make sure your complaint is tracked and acted on as quickly as possible.
Infill plays an important role in helping us respond to population growth and meet the diverse housing needs of both current and future residents. The Zoning Bylaw enables more housing types across the city, giving Edmontonians more choices to live in the neighbourhoods they love.
Downtown - Valley Line West LRT: 102 Avenue bike lane temporary relocation
Upcoming Valley Line West LRT construction in downtown will require the temporary relocation of the 102 Avenue bike lanes to 103 Avenue.
This fall, the City and Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) will install protected bike lanes along 103 Avenue from 103 Street to Rail Town Park, west of 109 Street. The relocated bike lanes will connect to the existing bike network and include wayfinding signage, bike signals, medians and pavement markings. To connect to the 103 Avenue bike lanes, cyclists will be able to use the existing north-south bike infrastructure along Rail Town Park Trail, 106 Street and 103 Street.
The City and MIP appreciate the patience of cyclists and others who will have to adapt their routines. The 103 Avenue bike lanes are expected to be in place until the end of 2027.
To receive updates on construction and the Valley Line project, sign up for MIP’s construction notices or the City’s newsletter.
Pedway - UID program gets help where you need it
Next time you’re in a downtown pedway, check out the Pedway Unique Identifier signs. These signs provide you with a specific number for the pedway you’re using in case you need help from emergency services.
If you have to call 911, give the operator the pedway number, and first responders will know exactly where to find you.
