Lendrum Place Neighbourhood
Renewal
The Lendrum Place neighbourhood has been
identified as a candidate for renewal in
2009/2010.
Proposed construction activities in Lendrum
Place include: reclamation of the roadway, an
upgrade to street lighting, and reconstruction
of the sidewalk, curb, and gutter. It
should be noted that alley renewal is not part
of this project. As part of the renewal project,
the City would be including reconstruction of
existing sidewalks through a 50/50 property
owner/city cost share Local Improvement process.
Lendrum Place will be broken down into several
Local Improvement sidewalk reconstruction
projects. Project area residents will have the
opportunity to support or petition against the
50/50 Local Improvement sideway reconstruction.
Should a petition be successful in a project
area, the Transportation Department will still
reclaim the roadway, reconstruct the curb and
gutter (except where it is part of the
sidewalk), and upgrade street lighting. The
Transportation Department will address any
safety issues on sidewalks that are not
reconstructed. In order to work closely with the
residents of Lendrum Place, representatives from
the Transportation Department will be meeting
with the community league executive and
providing further details in the fall of 2008,
and hold an open house with Lendrum Place
property owners in late 2008/early 2009.
If you have any questions regarding this
project, please call Mr. Steve Aguiar at (780)
442-4853, Monday through Friday, between 8:00
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
