PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As part of the West Hillhurst Streetscape and Public Realm Improvements Project, we are looking to make a series of community-level improvements within your community.

A map showing the community boundaries for West Hillhurst: • south of the bluff (roughly 9 Avenue northwest), north of the river, west of 18 Street northwest, and east of 28 Street northwest.

Engagement for this project will take place over four phases:

  • Phase 1 - COMPLETE - Identifying opportunities: we will work with you to identify potential area improvements.
  • Phase 2 - Project prioritization: we will ask you to prioritize the projects identified during Phase 1 engagement.
  • Phase 3 - Refining designs: we will ask you to help use refine the designs for a short list of projects identified during Phase 2 engagement.
  • Phase 4 - Final designs: we will present the final project designs to the community.

This project is part of the Established Areas Growth and Change Strategy, a program that provides funding to support short-term (1-3 years) public realm improvement projects in established communities where growth and change are happening.
