Ottewell has been chosen for neighbourhood renewal. Construction started in 2023.

Construction Update - October 2025

The third year of Ottewell Neighborhood Renewal construction is underway! Work will consist of removal and replacement of sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street lights as well as reconstruction and paving of the roads and all associated landscaping.

The 2025 Ottewell neighbourhood renewal project is nearing completion, with the construction of sidewalks, drainage, and Low Impact Development (LID) structures progressing significantly. Streetlight installations are also progressing as planned.

Please find below the details for the upcoming road closures, which are subject to weather conditions:

  • 95 Avenue east of 67A Street: Paving completion is tentatively scheduled for the first week of October
  • 58 Street between 92A Avenue and 91 Avenue: Paving completion is tentatively scheduled for the second week of October.
  • 94A Avenue: Paving completion is tentatively scheduled for the second week of October.
  • 95 Avenue west of 67A Street: Paving completion is tentatively scheduled for the first week of October.
  • 67A Street: Paving completion is tentatively scheduled for the first week of October.

For those who live in the 2024 construction area along Ottewell Road (from 94 B Avenue NW to 94 Avenue NW), the timeline for the remaining work depends on the scope of EPCOR’s sewer separation project. Since construction is weather-dependent, EPCOR work is set to resume in May 2025. The City is coordinating with EPCOR to prioritize the construction schedule for the remaining work along Ottewell Road.

Review the final design for remaining construction

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work to finalize the 2025 Ottewell neighbourhood project.

Construction in Ottewell began in spring 2023 and is expected to take 5 years (planned completion fall 2027).

Local Improvements

Sidewalks

Property owners within the boundaries of the 2025 - 2027 years of construction of the Ottewell neighbourhood had the opportunity to participate in the Local Improvement decision.

Property owners were mailed a local improvement package dated January 31, 2025, which included information about the sidewalk reconstruction Local Improvement and a 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.

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

About the Project

Neighbourhood reconstruction 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, drive and gather in the neighbourhood and how they enjoy City-owned parks and open spaces are also explored.  

A series of public events were scheduled by the Project Team which gave residents the opportunity to build a Project Vision and Guiding Principles together and provide feedback on the different stages of the project, including design.

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.
