Project update - June 2024
Beaver Hills House Park and Michael Phair Park are set to be renewed, with construction starting in summer 2024. A new plaza, renewed planting beds and a children’s play area will be included in the renewed Beaver Hills House Park. Michael Phair Park will include a busking stage with new lighting and room for food trucks. The design includes enhanced connection between the two parks with a removal of the portion of the wall that currently exists between the two.
The project team, along with the City forestry team, has determined some trees cannot be accessed for proper maintenance or are in poor condition. These trees will be removed in the last week of June. Per City of Edmonton policy, a bird sweep will take place before any tree is removed.
Existing, healthy trees will be preserved and we will plant new trees in locations with good growing conditions that are easily accessible for ongoing maintenance.
Fencing has gone up around the project site. Vehicle access along 105 Street will not be largely affected by construction, except when moving some equipment in and out of the site. Pedestrian access on the east side of 105 Street may be more readily impacted, so pedestrians are encouraged to use the west side of the street.
