EPCOR Water Main Modifications
There will be many construction locations along the West LRT route around our community, to accommodate the City of Edmonton's LRT construction. EPCOR will relocate water infrastructure that is in close vicinity to planned LRT track extensions, including water transmission and distribution mains, fire hydrants and water service lines.
This work will be completed in their April to October construction season. The projects under this program can vary in size, typically taking between 2 to 8 weeks to complete.

TWO BIG WINS FOR OUR RESIDENTS
On June 17, 2019, Chris Dulaba, developer for Boris Belostotsky, presented to council for approval of a direct control rezoning at 9504-153 Street. This rezoning was to build across from our school a 37 unit apartment with commercial which included a 125 patron bar. The rezoning application did not comply with our Jasper Place Area Redevelopment Plan. 60 residents attended wearing green badges and 25 attendees presented to council. Councillor Dziadyk said he had never seen so many community residents attend a public hearing. Due to our organized front, council listened to us and denied Mr. Belostotsky’s development proposal. Council confirmed that the Jasper Place ARP was important to the community and should be upheld.
On September 4, 2019, Chris Dulaba, representing Boris Belostotsky, appealed at the SDAB to subdivide 9739-155 Street into 3 small non-conforming lots since the city’s Subdivision Authority denied his application. Our league’s presentation as well as the city’s Subdivision Authority and Transportation were able to convince the Appeal Board to deny Mr. Belostotsky’s appeal.
