WhereJasper Avenue between 92 Street and 109 Street.

WhatMaking Jasper Avenue more pedestrian friendly by widening existing sidewalks, installing street furniture, replacing street light and signal poles and evaluating parking along the corridor to feature a high-quality pedestrian experience that will support area businesses and attract visitors.

WhyTo re-establish Jasper Avenue as a main street, a place all Edmontonians can be proud of, and a symbol of the vitality of the downtown and Edmonton as a whole.

When• Construction between 100 Street and 102 Street took place in

2013• Planning and design is underway for the remainder of the study

area• Construction between 96 Street and 100 Street is planned

for 2019 and 2020 to coincide with Shaw Conference Centre rehabilitation under Jasper Avenue

• Construction timelines for other areas have not yet been determined

BackgroundJasper Avenue is a main street. With downtown development on the rise, now is the time for transformation.

Published in 2011, the Toward a New Vision for Jasper Avenue report contained the new vision for Jasper Avenue’s streetscape and city-building initiatives that will surround it.

The underlying principle is the revitalization of Jasper Avenue’s streetscape so it can serve as a catalyst for private sector reinvestment, continued renewal, and positive change throughout the corridor. The development of the report included consultation with businesses and other stakeholders.

Jasper Avenue New Vision is the next step of redevelopment.

Working from the vision, with consideration for the City’s Main Streets Guideline (2016), the City is undertaking concept planning for the avenue.

The Shaw Conference Centre requires rehabilitation work under Jasper Avenue. Preliminary design is being prioritized for Jasper Avenue between 96 Street and 100 Street so construction can coincide with rehabilitation work required for the Shaw Conference Centre.

A parallel study called Imagine Jasper Avenue is progressing redevelopment of Jasper Avenue from 109 Street to 124 Street.

IMAGINE JASPER NEW VISION

Two related projects are underway on Jasper Avenue: • Jasper Avenue New Vision (92 Street to 109 Street)• Imagine Jasper Avenue (109 Street to 124 Street)

Both projects are intended to create a cohesive streetscape along the entire avenue from 92 Street to 124 Street. Specific design aspects will reflect the demographics and built form along each project area.

The goals of both studies are to:• Improve the pedestrian space on Jasper Avenue.• Create a main street destination while maintaining the

commuter corridor as a key transportation link.

The project teams are working together to ensure continuity along the avenue.



Design Elements • Wider sidewalks to increase pedestrian space• Narrowed roadway that maintains same number of travel lanes• Increased greenery (trees, plants) and improved landscaping• Street furniture (seating, trash receptacles, bike racks)• Street and pedestrian lighting• Surface treatment (paving stones, concrete, etc.)• Wayfinding (directional signage)

The images below illustrate some examples of existing and potential options for design elements along Jasper Avenue.



Main Streets GuidelineJasper Avenue was designated a Main Street in 2016.

Main streets are both important places and important transportation links.

The City of Edmonton’s Main Streets Guidelines focus on improving the pedestrian experience, providing additional space for street furniture and landscaping, buffering pedestrians from traffic, and encouraging people to linger by widening sidewalks.

The images below illustrate where the zones are located within an example main street.

The Main Streets Guideline defines key spaces in the roadway and streetscape:• Traveled Way – space for travel by automobiles and transit to

move people and goods• Ancillary Zone – flexible space for vehicle parking and loading

zones, transit stops, parios, parklets• Furnishing Zone – space for light and signal poles, signs, trees,

benches, bike racks, newspaper boxes• Pedestrian Through Zone – clear unobstructed open space for

pedestrians of all ages and abilities• Frontage Zone – space for retail, café seating, temporary

signage, lineup areas

Influencing FactorsIn developing the design for the future Jasper Avenue, the following are being considered:• People and goods movement:

◦ Pedestrians ◦ Bicycle network connections and bike parking ◦ Universal Accessibility ◦ Connection to funicular ◦ Bus routes, bus stops, and DATS ◦ Taxi and rideshare ◦ Traffic congestion and flow ◦ Parking and loading zones

• Nearby streetscapes: ◦ The Armature (96 Street) ◦ Rice Howard Way ◦ 104 Street ◦ Capital Boulevard (108 Street)

• Concurrent studies: ◦ Imagine Jasper Avenue (109 Street to 124 Street) ◦ Transit Strategy ◦ Centre LRT Study ◦ Downtown Streetscape Typology Study ◦ Downtown Wayfinding Strategy ◦ Downtown Public Places Plan

• Nearby construction: ◦ Valley Line LRT Construction ◦ Shaw Conference Centre rehabilitation under Jasper

Avenue ◦ Private land developments

• Festivals and Downtown Events• Adjacent buildings and businesses• Safety for all users
