The 50 Avenue Redevelopment Project upgrades 50 Avenue from Lakeshore Drive to 50 Street. Upgrades include new underground infrastructure, sidewalks, and landscaping. The project has four phases, from 2019 - 2024. The final phase 4 begins in 2024. All downtown businesses in the 50 Avenue Redevelopment construction area are open.


Why?

  • It is cheaper to replace aging underground infrastructure before it fails. Some water and sewer mains are over forty years old

  • To save money by upgrading landscaping and sidewalks at the same time

  • To make it safer for pedestrians and drivers with traffic calming design

  • To helps tourism and business by giving a facelift to this important downtown corridor


Reducing construction impacts

  • We are taking a strategic and staged approach by only closing one section at a time

  • We are completing phase 3 in sections to reduce impact to the downtown core, residents, and businesses

  • View the traffic interruption and detour plan

Why is the 50 Avenue area important?


Roadway Modernization and Traffic Calming Design

The new 50 Avenue design is built to calm traffic, improving safety for both pedestrians and drivers. Here’s how:

  • Improving pedestrian walkability and safety with the addition of wide sidewalks, crosswalks, and curb bulb-outs. Why are bulb outs safer? They let pedestrians look past parked cars before crossing. The bulb outs place walkers more into the line vision of drivers while staying off the roadway in a protected zone

  • Planting trees along the length of the roadway

  • Keeping the speed limit at 30 Km/h on 50 Avenue (from 46 Street to 50 Street)

  • Adding improved street lighting

  • Adding more traffic control signage and line markings

  • Increasing visibility of signage and line markings by placing them where they are easier to see for drivers. Improved street lighting also increases visibility

  • Narrowing and focusing the driver's field of vision with the bulb outs and trees, causing them to slow down

  • Improving the intersection at 50 Avenue and 46 Street

  • Replacing curb and gutter and adding more catch basins to improve drainage

    We have some great news for the downtown core! We are paving the gravel sections soon to minimize impacts on local businesses. Paving will get downtown ready for a fun and prosperous summer 2024. All downtown businesses in construction areas are open.

    50 Avenue Redevelopment

    • Before Canada Day: A temporary layer of asphalt on 50 Avenue (49 Street to Centennial Street), weather permitting. This will keep downtown flowing smoothly through the summer months
    • Completing concrete work, including curbs, flower beds, and the concrete pad in front of the Library
    • Ask 50 Avenue questions here
  • Construction begins for 2024

    Starting the week of April 22, 2024, construction resumes on the 50 Avenue redevelopment project. No road closures are needed for this work. Short-term sidewalk closures may occur.

    Phase 3, Stage 6

    • 50 Avenue, from 45 Street to 49 Street

    Tasks

    • Landscaping

    • Concrete work: miscellaneous curb work and a concrete pad in front of the Library

    Progress on the 50 Avenue and 46 Street intersection is on budget. All downtown businesses in the 50 Avenue Redevelopment construction area are open.

    What's new

    • November 10: Replacing services (water/sewer) to buildings on 50 Avenue from 49 Street to 50 Street

    Next Tasks

    • Underway: Landscaping
    • Underway: 50 Street and 50 Avenue closures: continue the water/sewer main lines upgrades. See closures below:
    Estimated November 2 - 24
    Finished
    • Removed temporary above ground water lines east of 49 Street
    • 50 Avenue from 46 Street to 49 Street is paved with the first layer of asphalt. We are adding the final layers of asphalt in 2024
    • The library parking lot now has a gravel surface and is open

    Streamlining Construction Schedules for 2024

    • 50 Avenue is now open from 50 Street to 46 Street
    • 50 Avenue is remaining open over the winter, until construction resumes in spring 2024
    • Construction on the library parking lot is complete. The lot will remain gravel until paving in 2024. This parking lot is above much underground infrastructure (water, sewer), and completing this work in 2023 helps us to shorten construction schedules in 2024. This shortens how much construction must be done during the buy summer season
    • This work includes relocating the water and sewer lines from underneath 50 Avenue, to underneath the parking lot (49 Street to 50 Street). If we need repairs in the future, 50 Avenue won't be disrupted along this important economic corridor
    • Doing the work in the fall of 2023 instead of spring/summer 2024:
      • Minimizes impacts on the businesses in the area
      • Reduces how much work we need to do in 2024, which makes 2024 construction faster
      • Gives underground work and earth time to settle over the winter of 2023 / 2024. This means that any problems from settling, like dips or cracks, can be corrected in spring 2024. This should create a smoother surface in the future
      • Surface work (paving, concrete, line painting, street lights, etc.) can start earlier in 2024, which means we can finish paving in 2024 instead of 2025
      • Keeps us on schedule with the new wastewater trunk main line. The new line is part of a separate project we are doing together with the Sylvan Lake Regional Wastewater Commission (SLRWWC). The new line can't go forward until the 50 Avenue work is done

    Hello Lakers! We've received some questions and thought everyone would benefit from the answers.

    Were there problems because of the construction delays?

    • Rains held up construction for a couple of days
    • The snow that fell October 23/24 created a delay. We could not pave the roadway and finish the underground work as we originally planned


    It seems like winter has started, what happens with 50 Avenue now?

    • Even though we’ve received some winter weather, we can still pave the road. We are paving 50 Avenue between 49 Street and 47 Street the week of October 30
    • Any other work that must excavate the roadway will not be paved. For these areas, we are using asphalt millings to seal the top for the winter season. Asphalt millings are made of recycled roadway asphalt ground up to the size of small gravel. The millings still have some of the properties of the asphalt roadway: it sticks together extremely well, it seals the surface, and it won’t wash out or pothole as easily as gravel


    What plans must be completed before stopping construction for the winter season, so that you can continue work in 2024?

    We are stopping the 2023 construction along 50 Avenue when:

    • All underground mains are installed to the west side of 50 Street
    • All underground building services that are within 50 Avenue are repaired and replaced
    • The roadway is paved
    • Concrete needed for sidewalk access to residents and businesses are complete
    • The area is made safe for the winter season by removing any tripping hazards or making property repairs before the construction season ends
    • Depending on the weather and site conditions, we hope to complete this list by mid-November
