Construction will begin April 1, 2024, and is anticipated to be completed by October 30, 2024. To minimize impacts to residents, the project is divided into four phases:

• Phase 1: 43A Avenue and 47 Street – April 1 to July 30
• Phase 2: Ross Street Intersection (North) – June 15 to July 30
• Phase 3: Ross Street Intersection (South) – July 15 to September 15
• Phase 4: 43 Avenue – Aug 15 to October 30

Construction is subject to the weather. Due to the mild winter this year, our project start date has been pushed up to April 1.

The existing infrastructure in Grandview is aging and its renewal has become crucial to the health, safety and longevity of its underground utilities. This work will include installation of new underground infrastructure, renewal of existing roadways and improved traffic signals on Ross Street.

1. Phase 1 - 43A Ave & 47 St
   • April 1 - July 30
   • Water, sanitary and storm infrastructure will be upgraded. The roadway will be excavated and rebuilt.; sidewalk will remain intact.
2. Phase 2 - Ross St. Intersection North
   • June 15 - July 30
   • Water, sanitary and storm infrastructure will be upgraded along with upgraded traffic infrastructure and signals. Traffic patterns will change on Ross St. to one west bound land and one east bound lane on the south side of Ross St.
3. Phase 3 - Ross St. Intersection South
   • July 15 - Sept. 15
   • Water, sanitary and storm infrastructure will be upgraded along with upgraded traffic infrastructure and signals. Traffic pattern will change on Ross St. to one west bound land and one east bound lane on the north side of Ross Street.
4. Phase 4
   • Aug. 15 - Oct.30
   • Water, sanitary and storm infrastructure will be upgraded. 43 Ave will be closed at this time, with detours around 43 Ave in place. Access to apartment building will be from east bound Ross St.

Information will be provided by hand delivered notices to affected residents. General construction updates will be provided here.

Residents are encouraged to use the unobstructed sidewalks. For people requiring further assistance there will be a shuttle to assist. Further information regarding the shuttle will be provided in following notifications.

Yes, as long as residents do not enter the construction sites and follow the on-site signage there should not be any safety concerns. If you have concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our project team.

For residents living on 43A Ave /43 Ave /47 St, the nearest access point will be the intersection of 43 Ave and 47 St, or the trail to the north of 4724 43 Ave. For the residents of Towne House Apartment complex, access will be provided at all times.

Due to water and sanitary service pipes being upgraded to property line there will be some disturbance to landscaping in front yards. Pidherney’s will restore damaged yards to their pre-construction condition.

Utilities should not be impacted during construction. Some residents will be on temporary water services when Pidherney’s upgrades existing water mains. During temporary water connections the water supply is potable and safe to consume.

• Cart collection: Carts and extra yard waste will continue to be collected on Wednesdays during construction. Please refer to the letter hand-delivered to your residence on March 25, or call the Blue Line at 403-340-BLUE (2583) for instructions on how and where to set our your carts. Please note, your cart pick-up instructions may differ from your neighbours'.
• Mail delivery: Mail will be redirected to 6010 67A Street. Residents are required to bring valid identification when picking up their mail. If you have specific accommodation needs, Canada Post can arrange for alternative delivery options for a fee by phoning 1-866-607-6301. The fee for alternative delivery will be the responsibility of the residents who choose that option.
• Parking/access: During Phase 1, residents on 43A Ave, 47 St, and 43 Ave will be provided with temporary parking accommodations. Detours will be in place through each phase to traverse around road closures.
• Emergency Response access: Red Deer Emergency Services has reviewed the construction plans and created alternate response plans to ensure emergency response is maintained.
• Grocery/food/retailer delivery: Sidewalks will be maintained for access. For residents requiring assistance with small items and personal belongings, a shuttle service will be provided by Pidherney's.

Residents are encouraged to use the unobstructed sidewalks. For people requiring further assistance there will be a shuttle to assist. Further information regarding the shuttle will be provided in following notifications.

In the early planning stages, our team explored every possibility to maintain road access to the residents, however the configuration and location of this street would not allow it. A temporary road was deemed unfeasible due to safety concerns, constraints regarding the mobility of construction equipment, and budget constraints.

There will be tree removal and pruning done prior to the start of construction. This should not affect the slope stability. If a tree is being removed in front of or on a residents property, a tree removal notice will be provided to the resident with further details.

Construction hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday. As weather and schedule requirements dictate, Sunday and evening work may also be required. In these circumstances, the noise bylaw of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday will be adhered to.

Please notify us ahead of time if special accommodation is needed. Pidherney’s and City of Red Deer will be working with the Grandview residents to mitigate the impact of this project.
