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.
