Edmonton Historical Board 2009 Annual Report 3 2010CAHB01 Attachment 1 Letter from the Chair His Worship Stephen Mandel and Edmonton City Councillors Second Floor, City Hall 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square Edmonton, Alberta T5J 2R7 Dear Mayor Mandel and Councillors: Please find attached the 2009 Annual Report for the City of Edmonton Historical Board, which was approved at the April 28, 2010 Board meeting. This year we have developed a new format, which will highlight Board activities. This has been a busy year for the Edmonton heritage community. Two of the major recommendations of the Art of Living Plan have resulted in the establishment of the Edmonton Heritage Council and the creation of a Historian Laureate position. The Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) was formally launched in 2009 and the selection process for the first City of Edmonton Historian Laureate was well underway at year-end. In addition, the City of Edmonton’s proactive thinking in its management of historic resources resulted in the City receiving the prestigious Prince of Wales Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership in 2009. All of the volunteers on the Edmonton Historical Board bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Board. This year we welcomed one new member, Anna Lund, to replace the retiring member, Virginia Stephens. The members of the Edmonton Historical Board are committed to maintaining and enhancing our relationship with the members of City Council and with the City Administration. In October, a luncheon was held with City Councillors for this purpose and we intend to continue hosting such events as a way of keeping Council informed of issues in the heritage community. The Edmonton Historical Board (EHB) continues to build connections with other community organizations. Both the Edmonton and District Historical Society and the Northern Alberta Pioneers and Descendents Association have members appointed to the EHB. A member of the EHB chaired the Steering Committee set up to oversee the establishment of the Edmonton Heritage Council and two current Board members also serve on the Edmonton Heritage Council board, which will ensure effective future cooperation between the two bodies. The EHB and the EHC are already collaborating on the Historian Laureate position and the EHB hopes to work on other projects with the EHC. Edmonton Historical Board 2009 Annual Report 4 2010CAHB01 Attachment 1 The EHB also has a representative on the Fort Edmonton Management Board. This will help to encourage a positive working relationship between the Edmonton Historical Board and the Fort Edmonton Management Board. This kind of cooperation and mutual support will be critical in ensuring that the historical integrity of Fort Edmonton is maintained as the Management Board proceed with its ambitious revitalization plans. Finally, the EHB continues to have a representative appointed to the City of Edmonton Naming Committee as a way of ensuring that historical values are considered in naming streets, roads, sub-divisions and other cultural features in Edmonton. The annual Edmonton Historical Board Recognition and Plaque Award program is an excellent reflection what the Board endeavours to accomplish. This year it was held at McKay Avenue School, which was a very fitting venue for the event. In total, seven plaques and five recognition awards were made. Recipients included all new municipally designated sites and a number of outstanding individuals and heritage projects. One innovation this year was the awarding of historic plaques to commemorate the history of some of Edmonton’s oldest and most significant communities. This year plaques were prepared for the Highlands, Strathcona and Westmount. The communities in question were very pleased to receive this recognition of their significance as neighbourhoods, and in future the EHB plans to award additional plaques to the many other historic Edmonton communities. The EHB appreciates the high level of support received from Community Services, the City of Edmonton Archives and the Planning Department in our role of promoting and advocating for the preservation and protection of historical resources. We remain strongly committed to the City of Edmonton’s vision and its strategic goals of improving Edmonton’s liveability by supporting heritage awareness and preservation and contributing to the transformation of Edmonton’s urban form by encouraging a strong program of identification, preservation and effective management of Edmonton’s most significant built heritage and streetscapes.

  • Envision 109 : Phase
    109 STREET STREETSCAPE CONCEPT DESIGN PHASE ONE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WHAT WE HEARD REPORT City of Edmonton Sustainable Development and Integrated Infrastructure Services February 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS A. Project Overview B. Public Involvement Process C. What We Heard ‐ Overall Themes D. What We Heard: Public Input Details Appendix A – Project Stakeholders Appendix B ‐ Public Open House ‐ Communications/Advertising Appendix C – Public Open House Materials Appendix D – Comment Form A. PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Edmonton initiated a Streetscape Concept Design study for 109 Street between 61 Avenue and the High Level Bridge (Envision 109) in 2015. The corridor serves several residential neighbourhoods, schools, businesses and major transit routes and is a major route linking downtown and south Edmonton. Planning studies have been carried out to revitalize the corridor over the past decade. The 109 Street Corridor Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) (2013) suggested that a Comprehensive Streetscape Improvement Plan be developed to review the function of the corridor, to improve the pedestrian environment and to help revitalize the adjacent areas. Streetscape improvements will be built in stages as funding becomes available. Working together with the public and stakeholders, Envision 109 aims to develop future streetscape concept designs that: make the street aesthetically appealing; address the needs of drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders; and consider opportunities to enhance accessibility, safety, furnishings, signage, surface treatments, public art, lighting, public spaces and more. Two streetscape concept design options will be developed: short‐term off‐street improvements— improvements to the public realm that do not involve reconstruction of the roadway—and long‐term road/streetscape improvements— reconstruction of roadway that envisions a more pedestrian oriented street.
