2020 neighbourhood renewal update
Strathcona’s second year of neighbourhood renewal construction began at the end of April as planned. Work will continue through the fall in central and east Strathcona, between 82 and 87 Avenues from Mill Creek Ravine to 101 Street. A new active mobility path along the streetcar line will also be completed this year.
Along with new roads, sidewalks and street lights, some blocks could also see changes to trees.
Those living along 86 Avenue will see the addition of boulevard trees between 97 and 100 Streets, on both sides of the avenue. This will mean 86 Avenue’s streetscape will grow to look and feel more like other neighbourhood streets in our community. Those living on 97 and 98 Streets will also see trees added or removed. And 100 Street, between 83 and 84 Avenue will see a handful of trees removed to allow for construction of a parking bay and active transportation lanes.
Please refer to the map of 2020 construction for more details (PDF below). Green circles are new trees and a red x notes a removed tree. (These plans may change as construction needs and tree health require.) Any tree that is removed by the City of Edmonton for renewal construction will be replaced by an equal value of trees, as determined by the Urban Forestry branch.
