Introduction This Issues and Opportunities Brief summarizes the technical analyses completed as part of Phase 2 of Edmonton’s Exhibition Lands Transformation (formerly named the Coliseum Station Area Redevelopment Plan). It incorporates the findings from the following project tasks: › Transportation technical analysis › Civil infrastructure technical analysis › Site visits and analysis › Context analysis › Public and stakeholder engagement The summary and discussion provided on the following pages should be supplemented by the more detailed findings of these technical studies, where available, and by the Phase 1 What We Heard Report that describes the results of public engagement to date. The Exhibition Lands project will study the lands centred on the former exhibition grounds located between the Coliseum and Stadium LRT Stations, including the Coliseum arena and EXPO Convention Centre, and the edges of surrounding communities. The study area boundaries (shown on the following pages) have been designed to encompass neighbourhoods with the highest potential for change in the future, and to enable the project to consider transitions and connections between the City lands and existing residential areas, nearby open spaces and the broader transportation network. Note that the project is in a stage of transition, with a focus on creating a more collaborative and transformational vision for the future of the Exhibition Lands.

  • WORKING TOGETHER Report of the Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan Project Team
    WORKING TOGETHER Report of the Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan Project Team Acknowledgements The Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan project has been an extremely complex one, made more demanding by the very tight timelines established by the Government of Alberta. While a project of this nature is never quite finished – additional work is always needed and additional people always need to be consulted – this report and its recommendations were completed within the deadline. This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of a long list of people inside and outside of government, many of whom still had full time jobs to attend to even while they assisted with this project. It is not possible to recognize everyone who contributed to the study and the recommendations, but there are some who deserve special mention. They are as follows: Project Management Committee Chair of land use and core infrastructure: Brian Marcotte, Consultant Chair of social infrastructure: Susan Williams, Assistant Deputy Minister, Workforce Supports Division, Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry Chair of Governance: Gordon Sloan, Partner, ADR Education Assistant Project Manager: Diane Simsovic, Senior Director, Advanced Industries Unit, on loan from Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry Advisors (in alphabetical order): o Margaret Bateman, Calder Bateman Communications o Karen Bergman, Senior Manager, Strategic Policy, Treasury Board Secretariat o Christine Couture, Executive Director of Labour
