Building Great Neighbourhoods

Pleasantview neighbourhood renewal construction is mainly complete.

Construction Update - May 2024

Pleasantview Neighbourhood Renewal start in May 2024! Work will consist of reconstruction and paving of the roads, removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street lighting.

The planned scope for 2024 will include:

60 Avenue west of 110 Street road work
60 Avenue from 110 Street to 109 street traffic circle road work
60 A Avenue from 61 Avenue to 106 Street road work
Raised crosswalks along 109 Street
Installation of the official off-leash fence, gates and site furniture
Warranty on Concrete, Road, Landscaping

To facilitate construction in the off-leash park, the entire park will be closed starting on May 15 for a period of four weeks.

Parts of the 2023 construction area may also require sod. Once the weather warms up, typically in early June, the landscape subcontractor will be completing the topsoil and sod placement. By waiting until summer, the sod is more likely to establish.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete the remaining scope of work. Construction in Pleasantview neighbourhood began in summer of 2022 and is now complete, except for the locations identified above.

About the Project

The Neighbourhood Renewal program will rehabilitate roads, replace street lights, curbs and gutters, repair sidewalks, and connect missing sidewalk links where possible. Other opportunities to improve parks and public spaces will also be explored.

Cost sharing opportunities will be made available through the Local Improvement process for sidewalk reconstruction and decorative street light upgrades in the neighbourhood. Arterial roads and alleys are not included in the scope of work.

A series of public events will be scheduled by the project team which will give residents the opportunity to build a project vision and guiding principles together and provide regular feedback on the different stages of the project including design.

Please watch your mailbox for correspondence from Building Great Neighbourhoods and Open Spaces about the Pleasantview Neighbourhood Renewal Project.

Neighbourhood Reconstruction

Project History

Construction Update - November 2023

Neighbourhood Renewal construction in Pleasantview has wrapped up for the 2023 construction season.

The 2023 construction work began in April and was finished the second week of November. The 2023 construction season was a success and we completed all planned construction including:

The reconstruction of roads, sidewalks, curbs and gutters and new street lights in the following areas:
- 106 Street to 111 Street between 51 Avenue and 61 Avenue

There are some areas in the 2023 construction area that were not completed. Those include:

60 Avenue from 110 Street to 109 Street traffic circle road work
60A Avenue from 61 Avenue to 106 Street road work
Installation of the official dog park fence, gates and site furniture

The outstanding work will be completed when construction resumes in 2024. Parts of the 2023 construction area may also require sod. Once the weather warms up, typically in early May, the landscape subcontractor will be completing the topsoil and sod placement. By waiting until spring, the sod is more likely to establish.

Construction Update - June 2022

Beginning this spring, Pleasantview will be experiencing Neighbourhood Renewal construction.

Work is underway which will temporarily impact the mobility network surrounding 106 Street from 53 to 56 Avenue. The construction work consists of the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lighting, reconstruction and paving of the road, retaining wall construction and constructing raised bike facilities.

106 Street Construction Impacts

Work is underway which will temporarily impact the mobility network surrounding 106 Street from 53 to 56 Avenue. The first stage of construction is to construct a retaining wall along the west side of 106 Street from 54 to 56 Avenue. The work started on May 19, 2022, with anticipated completion at the end of October 2022.

On-street signage will direct people walking, rolling, cycling and driving to alternative routes.

Maintaining the Mobility Network

The City of Edmonton is committed to maintaining safe and efficient travel for all. Detours will be in place to support the safe movement for people walking, using mobility aids and biking.

While Walking and Rolling
While walking and rolling (strollers, wheelchairs and walkers) pedestrians of all ages and abilities are directed to use the sidewalk on the east side of 106 Street.

While Driving
Vehicle traffic will be impacted and will be directed to alternative routes with on-street signage:

Preparing for Construction - March 2022

In the spring of 2022, the Project Team hit the streets in Pleasantview to bring the final neighbourhood designs to life.

As part of the design for Pleasantview, the Project Team identified that City-owned tree(s) may be removed starting the week of March 28, 2022, prior to the start of construction.

In the interest of maintaining canopy cover within the neighbourhood, several new trees were planted. Every effort was made to protect the existing trees while meeting the Vision and Guiding Principles for the Pleasantview Neighbourhood Renewal project.

Project Update - March 2022

Thank you to everyone who attended the Preparing for Construction Online Information Session.

Beginning in the spring of 2022, the Project Team will soon be hitting the streets in Pleasantview to bring the final neighbourhood designs to life.

We presented the final neighbourhood design to the community in August 2021. The Project Team has provided additional details and incorporated a few changes since then, including a finalized design for 106 Street. Construction is ready to begin!

What We Heard Report

Local Improvement Decision

Residents in Pleasantview had the opportunity to participate in the Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 20, 2022 which included information about the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement and form for those who wished to petition against. The 30 day petition period has since expired. Since the City did not receive majority (50% +1) petitions against the Local Improvement, sidewalk reconstruction will take place in all project areas over two years of construction for the neighbourhood.

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

Project Update - January 2022

The project team is working hard to ensure construction in your neighbourhood is ready to begin in 2022.

Local Improvements Update

In October 2021, a decorative street lighting Expression of Interest package was sent to all registered property owners in the neighbourhood. More than 50%+1 of the received responses were not in support (“no”), so the decorative street light Local Improvement will not be proceeding. Street lights will be replaced as part of the Pleasantview Neighbourhood Renewal with standard galvanized poles and energy-efficient LED lights.

Property owners in the neighbourhood will be receiving a package in the mail with information on the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement, and how to participate in the decision.

For more information, see Local Improvements.

Project Update - November 2021

Work is continuing on Pleasantview’s Neighbourhood Renewal.

The project team is working hard to ensure construction in your neighbourhood is ready to begin in 2022.

Update on Decorative Street Lights

Reminder to complete and return your Expression of Interest Form!

Through the Pleasantview Community League, a decorative street light committee was created which collected community input on a choice of decorative street lighting for Pleasantview. The updated final option the Pleasantview Community League submitted to the City was Standard Street Light and Luminaire - Powder Coated Black.

In late October 2021 an Expression of Interest Package was sent to all registered property owners. This is an opportunity for property owners to submit their interest in supporting or not supporting the decorative street light option for the entire Pleasantview neighbourhood.

Property owners can return their completed form selecting whether they support or do not support decorative street lights to the City of Edmonton by November 30, 2021. If the City receives sufficient support from the community the local improvement process will begin.

Expression of Interest forms can be submitted by one of the following:

Project Update - August 2021

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us virtually on Pleasantview’s Final Design stage of the project.

The online survey closed on August 12, 2021 and we appreciate everyone who took the time to provide their feedback, through the online event, the survey, emails and phone calls with the project team. Your input is important as we move toward finalizing the design and the scheduled 2022 construction start date for your neighbourhood renewal.

The project team will review all of the feedback provided, along with technical information and City policies and programs, for consideration into the final design.

Project Information
Final Design Presentation Video
Draft Design What We Heard Report

Decorative Street Lighting

New galvanized street lights are included in your neighbourhood renewal at no additional cost to property owners. However, some neighbourhoods choose to pay for a decorative street light upgrade and the cost of the upgrade is charged to the property owners as a Local Improvement.

Street light options include pole colour and type, arm style and style of light fixture.

Decorative Street Light Committee

Through the Pleasantview Community League, a decorative street light committee was created which collected community input on a choice of decorative street lighting for Pleasantview. The selected option submitted to the City was black powder coated; octagonal pole; Heritage decorative arm and Renaissance light fixture. In the coming months the City will provide an Expression of Interest Package to all registered property owners. Property owners will then return their completed notice selecting whether they support or do not support decorative street lights. If the City receives sufficient support from the community the local improvement process will begin.

More Information

Watch your mailbox later this summer for more information from the City.

Thank you for participating virtually. We look forward to connecting with you and hearing your perspectives as we move toward creating the neighbourhood design for Pleasantview’s future.

Project Update - March 2021

Work is happening behind the scenes on Pleasantview’s Neighbourhood Renewal. Your Project Team is currently working on the final design for your neighbourhood and will be sharing it with you in summer 2021.

Decorative Street Lighting

Standard street lights will be replaced as part of the Neighbourhood Renewal process. However, property owners in each neighbourhood undergoing renewal have the opportunity to upgrade to their community’s choice of decorative street lights through a community-initiated local improvement process.

A committee of residents and property owners in Pleasantview is working on selecting a decorative streetlight option to submit to the City for consideration. They will be submitting their choice to the City by June 30 and we will be sharing with you during upcoming community engagements.

Community Feedback on Draft Design - December 2020

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us virtually during the Community Feedback on the Draft Design stage of the project as we adjusted our engagement practices as a result of COVID-19.

The Draft Design shows how the proposed changes for walking, biking, driving and playing in Pleasantview will work together to provide the best neighbourhood experience for all users, balancing the needs of today and into the future.

The online survey and Ask A Question tool closed on December 2, 2020 and we appreciate everyone who took the time to provide their feedback. The feedback gathered, along with City policies and programs and technical requirements, will be used to develop the final design for the neighbourhood which will be shared in spring 2021.
