Hillview Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal - Updated on June 21, 2024
The City of Edmonton is in the process of planning the Hillview Neighborhood and Alley Renewal for 2025. Various steps have been done with issuing surveys to residents to create a draft design and then held an open house on February 15, 2024, at Hillview School.
Two aspects of the neighborhood renewal required volunteers in the community to determine whether the majority of the community preferred changes to them or stay with what was currently used. The Community League issued a postcard to all Hillview residents and businesses with a survey link to complete on these two items. The postcards were mailed out the 2nd week of March and the survey had a deadline of April 22, 2024. We then compiled the results and sent them to the city by a deadline of May 1, 2024.
The two items surveyed were:
1. Decorative Street lighting Upgrades for the Hillview area. Property owners only, could answer this, as there was a cost to each property owner if this went ahead. The survey provided the details on types of poles, lighting, light arms, and colors available. See the link in the survey for full details on the lighting. For more information you can also visit edmonton.ca/BuildingHillview or edmonton.ca/DecorativeStreetLights
2. Decorative Street Blades (Street Signs): All residents could answer this on possible design changes to the sign blades (15 designs were available) and a recommended adding of the Woodvale Community League Logo. Five colors are also available. These would be done at no charge to the property owners. See the link in the survey for full details on the Decorative Street Blades.

Survey results
o 2692 Survey Cards were distributed via Canada Post to Hillview Residents and Businesses in March 2024.
o 75 property owners and 2 renters responded by the survey deadline.
o The decorative street lighting required at least 50% + 1 of the responses in favor to be considered as all property owners would have had to pay for the cost of upgrading and only property owners could respond on this question. 58 of the 75 responses were No to decorative street lights.
When less than 20% of the property owners submit a expression of Interest by the deadline, the decorative street lighting process is at the discretion of the city. We have responded back to the city that it appears most responders were not in favor and that we should not proceed with this upgrade. The city has indicated that they will go with this and will NOT be changing to decorative street lights but will be upgrading to new galvanized standard street lighting at no charge to the property owners when the neighborhood renewal is done.
o New Street Blade designs: 15 designs were included in the survey which would be done at no cost to the property owners. Colors could be in red, blue, green, black or brown.
25% or 13 of 52 responses preferred design 9,
8 of 52 or 15% preferred design 10,
The top 2 colors selected were Black and Green and almost the same number for each.
The city provided mock-ups of the two top designs in the 2 colors selected and the Woodvale Community League Logo and wording were included on the signs.
The Community League recommended the Design 9 with the Black coloring as the design to use if the renewal does go ahead.
