There are some areas in the 2024 construction area that were not completed. Those include:
- Concrete, LID facilities and road work along 91 Avenue from 58 Street to 52 Street
- Concrete and road work Ottewell Road from 94B Avenue to Clara Tyner School north of 94 Avenue
- Concrete and road work along 58 Street from 92A Avenue to 91 Avenue
- The remainder of the street light work, which will continue this winter
The outstanding work will be completed when construction resumes in 2025. Parts of the 2024 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.
Neighbourhood renewal work will resume in Ottewell Neighbourhood in the first week of May 2024, weather permitting. The planned scope for 2025 will include areas east of Ottewell Road and north of 92 Avenue. Prior to work resuming, construction notifications will be delivered to impacted residences.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we completed another successful year of neighbourhood renewal construction. Construction in the Ottewell neighbourhood began in Spring 2023 and is expected to take 4 years.
Neighbourhood renewal in Ottewell is progressing on time and on budget.
