Active Commuting updatesConstruction updatesRoad closures It’s easy to see the detours, but here’s the big picture: every project happening this week is a step toward a more resilient and connected city. The City is prioritizing system reliability to keep our infrastructure as vibrant as our residents, as the community grows. See what’s happening around the city this week to support long-term growth: New projects/updates: 50 Avenue water feedline construction: 50 Avenue in front of École Bellevue School and the Beaumont Community Centre (between 55 Street and 51 Street) is down to one lane with alternating traffic in both directions. This also impacts drop-off and pick-up at the school.
