Allendale Neighbourhood Renewal

Allendale Neighbourhood Renewal

Posted on by Tess Gleason

It has been a few years since we had our roads, curbs, street sewers, lights, boulevards, and sidewalks dug up for renewal. Many of you who had issues have likely been in contact with the City. In our last conversation with the Delivery Project Manager, he gave me an indication that this year they would be reviewing any warranty work that may need further remediation.

If you haven’t already contacted the City, about an ongoing issue, please review the City of Edmonton website for further contact information. https://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/on_your_streets/allendale-neighbourhood-renewal.aspx
