City Projects Project updates are available on the following projects:
Neighbourhood Road Renewal and Local Improvement Program During
the year 2000, the City resurfaced the roads in the Lower Lougheed neighbourhood as part
of the Neighbourhood Road Renewal Program. This year a "local improvement" was
added as an option to the Road Renewal Program. Dartmoor West and Lower Lougheed were in
favour of this local improvement and the work is now complete. The next
neighbourhood that was scheduled for resurfacing in 2001 was Chineside. The local roads
will be resurfaced and the local improvement option have been offered to the property
owners. The neighbourhood's property owners petitioned in favour of the local improvement
the work is scheduled to take place late summer and early fall of 2001 with Council's
approval. The next
neighbourhood tentatively scheduled for resurfacing in 2002 is Laurentian Heights.

Traffic circles, curb extensions and raised cross-walks have been installed. Traffic calming studies have taken place over several months in the neighbourhoods of Laurentian/Austin Heights and Austin Heights. Walkabouts with residents, open houses and a community questionnaire are some of the ways the property owners are helping to make us aware of their concerns.
