The river valley is one of Edmonton’s greatest assets, a place people have been drawn to and gathered for thousands of years. The City of Edmonton is looking to improve access to and within the river valley, creating enhanced opportunities for ecological connections, recreation, celebration, heritage interpretation and social gathering with a project called the Touch the Water Promenade.
You are invited to attend one (or all) of the public engagement pop-up events listed below to learn more about the project, ask questions and share your (Community’s) vision for this project.
Let’s talk about a vision for a new riverfront promenade in central Edmonton.
Public Engagement Pop-Up Events:
Thursday, October 31, 2019 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.Edmonton Tower Lobby, 10111 104 Avenue NW
Saturday, November 9, 2019 11a.m. -1 p.m.Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre, 11000 Stadium Road NW
Saturday, November 16, 2019 11a.m. - 1 p.m.Kinsmen Sports Centre, 9100 Walterdale Hill NW

This project will focus on a central stretch of the North Saskatchewan River Valley in two connected areas. One area is adjacent to the Rossdale neighbourhood and the other is upstream on the north shore of the river, along River Valley Road. The Promenade is proposed to extend from Rossdale along the northern bank of the river to Government House Park, west of Groat Road Bridge.
Please note that this project is in early stages of concept development. We are engaging with the public and key stakeholders to help shape the vision for the project and inform the development of concept design options. There will be multiple opportunities for engagement as the project progresses through design, and we will be sure to keep you informed.
For up-to-date project information, please visit edmonton.ca/touchthewater. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me at nathan.roth@edmonton.ca.
Thank you very much in advance for participating in sharing your voice and shaping our city.
