Here you can:

The Strathcona Centre Community League has drafted a set of Guiding Principles to assist community members in evaluating this plan.
Key questions:
Does the strategy have the key elements of quality public realm planning?
Does the strategy reflect what is valued by our Old Strathcona community?
Public Realm Guiding Principles

If you have questions for the Strathcona Community League or would like to get involved with the SCCL Civics Committee, please email civics@strathconacommunity.ca. 

There are several different City-run infrastructure projects happening in and around the Strathcona neighbourhood right now. 

But what’s the diff? What is each one about? And where should you focus your attention?

The Strathcona Community League Civics co-Directors are here to help!
We attend City meetings, sift through reports, and try to highlight the info sessions and engagement events you need to know about.

Here are the top 4 right now! 
Visit https://strathconacommunity.ca/ongoing-projects/ to see everything.

If you want to know more about setbacks, urban trees and density – your attention should be on the Zoning Bylaw Renewal 
Edmonton’s Zoning Bylaw is going through its first comprehensive overhaul in over 60 years. This is an opportunity to rethink what we regulate in terms of land development and to align city-building tools to ensure all Edmontonians and property owners have the necessary tools to build and experience the city envisioned in The City Plan. Public Hearings – Oct 16, 2023

If you want to know more about being within a 15-minute walk, roll or transit ride of your neighbourhood amenities – you should become more familiar with the new District Policies and District Plans
District policy applies across all districts and other planning directions like urban design, energy transition and climate adaptation.
District plans provide more flexible planning direction that is district and area-specific.

If you want a strong voice about public spaces, parking and parks along Gateway and Whyte Ave – you should focus on the Old Strathcona Public Realms Strategy
The Old Strathcona Public Realms Strategy will imagine a new future for parks, plazas, sidewalks, streets and alleys within Old Strathcona, especially along Gateway Blvd and Whyte Ave.

If you care about upgrades to Whyte Ave with bus corridors, bike lanes and efficient ways to move large numbers of people through our City – you need to understand more about Mass Transit Implementation
The Mass Transit Implementation aims to expand mass transit options to provide service for a future 1.25 million residents between significant commercial and institutional areas (known in The City Plan as nodes and corridors).

Please get involved.
For more information, please contact civics@strathconacommunity.ca

Drop by the Hall tomorrow evening, Thursday March 2, from 5pm-8pm to hear more about the City’s plans for the lands along Gateway Blvd, Calgary Trail and Whyte Ave.
