Beginning this spring, Pleasantview will be experiencing Neighbourhood Renewal construction.
Work is underway which will temporarily impact the mobility network surrounding 106 Street from 53 to 56 Avenue. The construction work consists of the removal and replacement of public sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lighting, reconstruction and paving of the road, retaining wall construction and constructing raised bike facilities.
106 Street Construction Impacts
Work is underway which will temporarily impact the mobility network surrounding 106 Street from 53 to 56 Avenue. The first stage of construction is to construct a retaining wall along the west side of 106 Street from 54 to 56 Avenue. The work started on May 19, 2022, with anticipated completion at the end of October 2022.
On-street signage will direct people walking, rolling, cycling and driving to alternative routes.
