Two projects are underway to revitalize the Jasper Avenue streetscape from 124 Street to 92 Street to create a unified corridor, balance the needs of all users and improve the pedestrian experience.
» Jasper Avenue New Vision: 109 Street to 92 Street » Imagine Jasper Avenue: 124 Street to 109 Street
Designs for Jasper Avenue both east and west of 109 Street will maintain the same number of through traffic lanes as today and are influenced by the function of each area:
» West: Community-focused as central to the Oliver neighbourhood » East: Designed to be part of the downtown business core
Construction on two sections of Jasper Avenue - one in each project area - will begin this spring.

1 FLEXIBLE SPACE Flexible space is provided in some locations beside the sidewalk. These spaces can be used by the adjacent businesses for things like patios or pop- up shops.
2 CURB RAMPS Curb ramps are provided at each intersection and are aligned with the sidewalks. Each ramp contains a Tactile 4 7 Walking Surface Indicator (dimpled steel strip) to assist those with visual impairment.
3 CROSSWALKS Marked crosswalks are provided at each intersection in all directions. This allows for more convenient crossings for all users. The crosswalks are marked with “zebra stripes” to help them appear more visible to drivers.
4 TRAFFIC SIGNALS New signals are provided at each 6 intersection and are timed so that they don’t require pedestrians to push a button to get a walk signal. Push buttons are provided to trigger an audible signal 1 for those with visual impairment.
5 SIDE STREETS Corner bulbs extend onto side streets for a short distance. Side streets corner bulbs are treated simply with sod or shrub beds. Existing trees are retained.
3 6 BUSES (FUTURE OPERATIONS) Buses operate in the standard vehicle travel lanes, rather than in the peak- hour express lanes that exist today. They load and unload at bus stops out of this vehicle travel lane as well. This 5 allows for the creation of a ‘flex zone’ along Jasper Avenue that can be used for permanent on-street parking, patios, 2 parklets or other temporary uses. 7 STREET TREES Street trees are provided along the length of Jasper Avenue. Brandon Elm, Autumn Blaze Maple and Bur Oak are 3 the species proposed. Trees are shown at approximately 10 years growth from time of planting.

1 BUS STOP IN CORNER BULB (FUTURE OPERATIONS) Bus stops are located in long corner bulbs, separate from the sidewalk. The 9 8 area is paved in dark concrete pavers to provide visual contrast for those with visual impairments.
2 SEATING AND PLANTING Open planting beds with seating walls are provided at bus stops to create a more pleasant environment for waiting. Beds contain ornamental grasses or shrubs and street trees.
3 BUS SHELTER (FUTURE OPERATIONS) Bus shelters are provided at each bus stop and are located off the sidewalk.
4 CIRCULATION SPACE 3 Approximately 2.0m of unobstructed circulation space is provided between the curb and the seating walls to provide adequate space for loading and unloading of buses.
5 CURB RAMPS Curb ramps are provided at each intersection and are aligned with the sidewalks. Each ramp contains a Tactile 2 Walking Surface Indicator (dimpled steel strip) to assist those with visual 6 impairment. 6 BUSES (FUTURE OPERATIONS) Buses operate in the standard vehicle 4 travel lanes, rather than in the peak- hour express lanes that exist today. They load and unload at bus stops out of this vehicle travel lane as well. This allows for the creation of a ‘flex zone’ 1 along Jasper Avenue that can be used 7 for permanent on-street parking, patios, parklets or other temporary uses.
7 SIDEWALK Sidewalks along Jasper Avenue are a minimum of 2.75m wide, allowing enough space for three people to comfortably pass. Sidewalks are made of concrete to minimize tripping hazards and allow for easy shovelling in winter.
8 LIGHTING Pedestrian lighting to illuminate the 5 sidewalk and seating areas. Light fixtures match those used on Jasper Avenue New Vision.
9 STREET TREES Street trees are provided along the length of Jasper Avenue. American Elm and Patmore Green Ash are the species Learn more about this project at: edmonton.ca/ImagineJasperAvenue proposed. Trees are shown at approximately 10 years growth from time of planting.

1 CYCLE ROUTE THROUGH INTERSECTION A marked crossing is provided for cyclists across Jasper Avenue.
2 NEW SIGNALS WITH CYCLE PHASE New traffic signals are provided on the north and south sides of Jasper Avenue with a protected phase for cyclists.
3 SEPARATED CYCLE TRACK A separated cycle track is provided to guide cyclists to the shared crossing of the access to the Canterra commercial site.
4 PLAZA AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION 7 The existing plaza is reconfigured to provide additional landscaping and various forms of seating. A wide, unobstructed route is provided for 6 pedestrians from the intersection at Jasper Avenue to the shared-use-path to the north.
5 TERRACED SEATING STRUCTURE A large structure of wood seating is provided. The seating is terraced to allow people to sit at different levels. Larger areas for lounging are provided. 3 5 The seating is oriented to the west to take advantage of the afternoon sunlight.
4 6 RAISED PEDESTRIAN & CYCLE CROSSING 2 The roadway access to the Canterra commercial site is raised to the level of the plaza to slow down vehicle traffic. Bollards are used to direct vehicles. Pedestrians and cyclists are directed to a single crossing point.
7 CONNECTION TO SHARED-USE-PATH The plaza treatment extends north of the crossing into Railtown Park. The planting beds and seating walls warn cyclists of the upcoming crossing and provide space for seating. Sidewalk connections are provided to the adjacent alley.
