Neighbourhood Rehabilitation
Neighbourhood Rehabilitation is an annual program that ensures that the City's neighbourhood infrastructure meets current standards and is not at risk of failure due to deteriorating conditions. The scope includes:
- Remove and replace water infrastructure (i.e. water pipes, valves, hydrants, services to property line)
- Remove and replace sewer infrastructure (i.e. sewer pipes, manholes, services to property line)
- Remove and replace storm infrastructure (i.e. storm pipes, manholes, catchbasins, swales)
- Remove and replace concrete structures (i.e. sidewalks, curb and gutter)
- Remove and replace road structure (i.e. subgrade, granular base, asphalt)
- Improve traffic safety and walkability if possible
Timelines
Neighbourhood Rehabilitation is a complex project that occurs in existing older neighbourhoods. Typically these projects will start in May/June and are not completed until September/October.
2024 Projects
104 Street
2024 Work includes replacement of water, sewer and road infrastructure in the lane east of 100 Avenue, between 104 Street and 106 Street.
Lowe Avenue
Work includes replacement of water, sewer and road infrastructure on Lowe Avenue from Langley Drive to O’Brien Drive.
Westpark Drive and 95A Avenue Roudabouts
Speeds and traffic volumes along Westpark Drive and 95A Avenue have been monitored for a number of years and these areas have consistently recorded speeds more than the posted speed limit. This project constructs roundabouts on Westpark Drive and on 95A Avenue. The roundabouts will slow through-traffic along the roadway and will allow better access from the side streets.
The roundabout project generally includes:
- Surface removals
- Installation of extended storm sewer infrastructure
- Placement of concrete structures
- Asphalt surface milling
- Asphalt paving
- Line painting and marking
- Installation of signage
- Landscape restoration and remediation
This summer, parking and access to the intersections will be restricted, and we will strive to keep all through-traffic flowing during construction. The City of Fort Saskatchewan will work with our contractors to reduce the impact on daily resident commutes and business operations while completing the project as quickly as possible.
