Here are opportunities to shape city planning for the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy, a proposed entertainment district on Rice Howard Way, and street safety along 40 Street and Hermitage Road.
- Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy (Phase 3) — The City of Edmonton is accepting feedback on the final phase of the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy. The strategy re-envisions streets, sidewalks, parks, plazas, and parking in Old Strathcona, including bus-based mass transit on Whyte Avenue. The strategy will be presented to council's urban planning committee in August. Edmontonians can ask the project team a question or complete a survey until April 7.
- Entertainment District in Downtown — The City of Edmonton seeks feedback on designating Rice Howard Way between 100 Street and 100A Street as an entertainment district. The designation would restrict the street to pedestrian-only access and allow outdoor entertainment, food service, and alcohol service during summer weekends. Anyone who works, lives, or uses downtown for recreation can complete a short survey before April 16.
- Towards 40 – 40 Street and Hermitage Road — The City of Edmonton is inviting feedback on draft designs for 40 Street and Hermitage Road project areas as part of the Towards 40 Program, which aims to improve safety in areas where speeding and other street safety issues have been identified. Residents who walk, bike, roll, or drive in the project areas can attend an in-person public engagement session on April 9 or take a survey until April 16.
