Building Great Neighbourhoods

Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal construction is underway in Meyokumin.

Construction Update - April 2025

It’s the second year of Meyokumin Neighbourhood Renewal and we are scheduled to start in May 2025! Work will consist of reconstruction and paving of the roads, removal and replacement of public sidewalk, curb, gutter and street lighting.

This year, the majority of construction will take place from 57 Street to 65 Street, as well as 56 Street from 19A Avenue to 18 Avenue, and 55 Street from 17A Avenue to 17 Avenue. Please view this scope map to see the 2025 construction area. Work will also happen in the commercial area along 57 Street and parks and open spaces in the neighbourhood, including:

Removal and replacement of trails in Meyokumin Park and 55 Street Park
Construction of a new trail along the east side of Meyokumin Park
Removal and replacement of park lighting in Meyokumin Park and 55 Street Park

For those who live in the 2024 construction area (specifically the alleys completed in 2024), the remaining landscaping work is scheduled to start at the same time as this year’s construction. Landscaping work is highly dependent on weather and sod availability.

The City of Edmonton and EPCOR are working together to construct Low Impact Development (LID), which will help with stormwater retention and help mitigate flooding.

If you live in the 2025 construction area, please watch your mailbox for construction bulletins that will provide more information along with details on landscaping and access. All residents and business owners are asked to access their homes and businesses through the back entrances and alleys, where possible, during construction. If no alley access is available and/or you have special access requirements (i.e. DATS or a temporary access ramp to the front of your home), please contact the Construction Project Manager, David Ha, 780-496-4055, to coordinate.

Construction in Meyokumin began in spring 2024 and is expected to take 3 years (planned completion fall 2026). Neighbourhood renewal in Meyokumin is progressing on time and on budget.

About the Project

Neighbourhood Renewal rehabilitates residential roads, replaces street lights, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and adds missing sidewalk links, where possible. Other opportunities to improve how people walk, bike, roll, drive and gather in the neighbourhood, and how they enjoy City-owned parks and open spaces are also explored.

Alley Renewal will be included as part of the neighbourhood reconstruction. Alley Renewal involves alley reconstruction and repaving, improvements to surface drainage where possible, and upgrading of existing alley lighting to LED fixtures. Utility assessments and repairs, along with removals and pruning of trees and shrubs, are also completed.

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.

Arterial roads are not included in the scope of work.

Working Together to Make the Most out of Your Neighbourhood

The Building Great Neighbourhoods project team are genuinely interested guests, stepping into your neighbourhood like a visitor in your home. We want to learn and appreciate how you live and what you value in your community. Through public engagement, we will gain an understanding about what you need and value in your neighbourhood.

We seek to involve you in decision-making to shape the vision for engagement and neighbourhood improvements. Working together, we can make the most out of your neighbourhood.

Concept Phase

The Concept phase is when we need to hear from you the most! We need your help to co-create a vision and guiding principles, explore opportunities, and explore options and tradeoffs. These are the most important pieces for your Neighbourhood Renewal and will be used to create a draft design to best meet your neighbourhood needs.

Design Phase

During the Design phase, we want your input on the refined designs for your neighbourhood. Your feedback will be incorporated into the final design, alongside technical requirements and City policies. These designs were created from the vision and guiding principles we co-created together. You shared your input, we incorporated your feedback, now we build!
