Building Great Neighbourhoods

Starting in spring 2020, Lorelei will see the replacement of its aging collector and local roadway surfaces, street lights, and sidewalks as part of the City of Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Renewal program for mature neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood Renewal also looks at improvements for City-owned areas within the community, including green spaces and parks. Throughout this project, we have identified opportunities to make desired upgrades and enhancements in coordination with the Neighbourhood Renewal program.

What has happened so far!

This is your city and your neighbourhood. Through previous engagement, we have consulted with you to understand how you experience your neighbourhood. We have worked with you to explore community opportunities and develop plans for the renewal of roads, sidewalks, streetlights, and park spaces. We have commited to being open and transparent about how your input was used, and will continue to share information with you as we prepare for construction.

Pre-Construction Event Welcome to the pre-construction event

As a follow-up to the Refined Neighbourhood Designs event held in October 2019, we would like to share the final designs for Lorelei. We will share the final designs for Beaumaris in early 2021.

The final designs include:

+ Improved residential streets with measures to slow vehicles + Enhancements to green spaces and parks+ Improved connections for people who walk and bike

The event also includes information on how to prepare your property for construction and provides the opportunity to share feedback on any construction or parking concerns.

Sidewalk reconstruction and decorative street lighting information is also provided.

.

How the event works

The panels have been grouped into the following themes:

+ Neighbourhood design+ Park and open spaces+ Road improvements+ Construction

Please walk around and check out the panels. If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of the project facilitator. The facilitators will be near the panels and will be wearing a nametag.

It is important to note, that your feedback was one of the considerations when finalizing the designs. We also looked at City policies and programs,

technical requirements, and funding to determine which designs were chosen to be built.

Vision and guiding principles

Lorelei and Beaumaris are family-friendly neighbourhoods that welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. We are a safe and walkable community that is connected to key destinations like parks, schools and commercial areas. We are an active and vibrant community that enjoys nature and getting together with our neighbours.

Creating places for the community to come together and gather

Celebrating nature and preserving trees and open spaces

Creating easy access to neighbourhood destinations such as commercial areas, schools, parks and Beaumaris Lake

Feeling safe and having well-lit spaces

Improving connectivity by having viable options to walk, bike and drive within and surrounding the neighbourhood

Making the roads safer for all users (people who walk, bike, drive)

Update on parking restrictions

At a previous public event, parking restrictions were proposed on local roads to allow for new sidewalks. We heard concerns that parking restrictions would cause a shortage in parking. Based on this feedback, we removed the parking restrictions in most areas and maintained most of the new sidewalks.

Design element examples

Raised crosswalk Curb extension

Boulevard with trees

Raised crosswalks slow vehicles through the crosswalk, improves awareness of the pedestrian crossing and eases access for pedestrians with limited mobility

Curb extensions slow vehicles through the crosswalk, it shortens the crossing distance for pedestrians and it improves sight lines by preventing vehicles from parking too close to the crossing

Shared-use path Rapid flashing beacon

Pathway lighting

Shared-use path are 3.0 m wide multi-modal pathways for people who walk and bike

Rapid flashing beacons are button-activated pedestrian crossing lights that flash to improve awareness of the crossing

Decorative street lighting and next steps

Decorative street lighting

Lorelei will NOT receive decorative street lighting, as there was not enough interest from the community based on the results of the Expression of Interest from fall 2019. Renewal will still include standard street lights.

Property owners in Beaumaris will be able to DECIDE on decorative street lighting in fall 2020.

Renewal in Lorelei

Construction of Neighbourhood Renewal in Lorelei will begin in spring 2020. We will send you a bulletin at the start of construction with more information.

Renewal in Beaumaris

A pre-construction event for Beaumaris will be held in early 2021 to share the final designs and information on construction. Construction in Beaumaris will begin in spring 2021.

For more information on neighbourhood renewal including future opportunities to engage, and to sign up for our email subscriber list, please visit: edmonton.ca/BuildingLoreleiBeaumaris
