This section of 124 street is very well done, in my opinion. It has undergone a road diet and there is now much more room for boulevard trees and double-wide sidewalks. There was never a need for two driving lanes in each direction and the parking bays allow people to easily visit the small businesses along the strip. I'd give this above average marks.

I agree, it looks good. I've driven down the street a couple of times since they finished. They didn't try to do too much here, which I appreciate.

Please fill out the Oliver Neighbourhood Renewal survey before this Friday!

This will be the largest and one of the most impactful renewals (# of residents and daily visitors) of all neighborhood renewals. These only come every 30-40 years!

Oliver has been chosen for Neighbourhood Renewal. The planning and design is currently underway with construction anticipated to start in 2026.

Good timing as the next phase of the Imagine Jasper Avenue through Oliver starts in 2024. They will hopefully finish that by the time the neighborhood renewal starts in 2026
