Centennial Plaza Street Access
Both elevators in Centennial Plaza are back in service, and provide access to all levels of the Library Parkade as well as 100 Street, Judy Padua Way and Rice Howard Way.
The City is redeveloping Centennial Plaza to create a more attractive, welcoming and accessible destination.
Project Update - Spring 2024
The majority of redevelopment work at Centennial Plaza has been completed. Landscaping work will begin in May 2024 and is anticipated to be complete in June 2024.
