Help Design Street Improvements for Wîhkwêntôwin Neighbourhood
Official title: Wîhkwêntôwin ᐄᐧᐦᑫᐧᐣᑑᐃᐧᐣ Neighbourhood Renewal
Edmonton is redesigning roads, sidewalks, street lights, and green spaces in the Wîhkwêntôwin neighbourhood (formerly Oliver area). The city has a draft design ready and wants residents to weigh in before it's finalized. This is your chance to shape how people walk, bike, drive, and play in the area.
Why This Matters
Live in or near Wîhkwêntôwin? This affects your daily commute, where your kids play, and how safe it feels to walk or bike. The city is deciding where to put crosswalks, pathways, and traffic-calming measures. Speak up now or live with the results for decades.
What Could Change
New crosswalks, pathways, and green spaces could be added throughout the neighbourhood. Traffic-calming measures may slow down cars on residential streets. Street lights will be upgraded. Sidewalk reconstruction would follow a separate local improvement process that could affect property taxes.
Key Issues
- Where should new crossings and pathways be located?
- What traffic-calming measures are needed on residential streets?
- How should green spaces and play areas be designed?
