Concrete
Each year The City has a number of programs
that rehabilitate or replace old concrete. The City is proud of the concrete
work they do, and what they do is set in stone. The City has its own internal
training program for Concrete Finishers and Formsetters. Some highlights of the
2015 concrete season include:- 12,061 lineal metres of concrete replacement,
- Focus on pedestrian detours and access this year, including cycle detours, and
- Completed jobs on top of the regularly scheduled work for Water Services, Transit and Plants projects.
Development

The City’s Development and Projects group focuses
on the various streets improvements and active modes programs. Working with our contracted partners, The
City completed 30 Various Street Improvement (VSI) Projects:- All projects were selected
based on safety and optimization including:
-
Four Transit projects,
- Four Roads Safety projects,
- Four Industrial sidewalk program projects,
- One project for Water Resources, and
- One project for Waste & Recycling Services.

Construction at Anderson and
14th Street SW was completed this summer. One of the best parts of this project
was working with ATCO Pipelines on a solution for design at this intersection
to allow construction to be completed in 2015.
- Of which 3 were traffic calming and another 12 were pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and
- 8 bike ramps were constructed to enhance bike infrastructure at various locations throughout the city.
