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

Construction Update - November 2025

Neighbourhood Renewal construction in Ottewell Neighbourhood has wrapped up for the 2025 construction season!

2025 construction began in May and was finished the second week of October. The 2025 construction season was a success, and we completed all planned construction, including the reconstruction of roads, sidewalks, curbs and gutters and new streetlights in the 2025 construction area.

Neighbourhood Renewal work will resume in Ottewell in spring 2026, weather permitting. Prior to work resuming, construction notifications will be delivered to impacted residences.

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.
