District Planning Update

The final draft District Policy and all 15 District Plans are now available at edmonton.ca/districtplanning! They are being released early to allow you more time to review them before they go to City Council Public Hearing for consideration on May 28-30, 2024.

On the website, you will also find our What We Heard/What We Did Report, which summarizes the last round of public engagement we conducted from October 23, 2023 to December 1, 2023 and how feedback received helped inform final changes to the draft Policy and plans..

Changes to Your Geographic Plan

We would like to remind you that as part of the District Planning project the existing geographic plan for your neighbourhood is also being amended or repealed. For more information about this change, please refer to the proposed geographic plans to keep, change or retire.. 

Information Sessions

Sign up today for one of three online public information and Q&A sessions: 

Monday, April 22, 2024 (7:30 pm to 9:00 pm) via Google Meet

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 (7:30 pm to 9:00 pm) via Google Meet

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 (noon to 12:55 pm) via Google Meet - This session will be limited to 50 people to ensure ample time for a Q&A session.

At the session, you’ll learn more about District Planning, the changes made to the draft District Policy and plans since late 2023 and how to participate in the upcoming public hearing. These sessions are not intended to solicit feedback on the draft plans, but comments received will be captured and provided to Council for their awareness at the Public Hearing.  

We encourage you to share this information session opportunity widely with your community.

Public Hearing

There will be a Public Hearing for the District Policy and District Plans on May 28, 2024. If you would like to express your views on the District Planning project to City Council, you can register to speak when the Public Hearing agenda is released on May 1, 2024.. We will follow up with you in early May to provide more detailed information on how to participate in the Public Hearing.. 

Help Spread the Word!

District Planning will guide how Edmonton and our districts will change over time, so it's important that Edmontonians learn more about the Policy and plans and participate in the Public Hearing. We’ve created the attached District Planning information and resource package, which includes everything you need to know about the District Planning project and help share information with your networks. We will provide an updated package in May that contains more detailed information and resources on how to register to speak and participate in the Public Hearing.  .

Construction will begin June/July 2024 and be completed this year!! This is a very exciting time for all of the dedicated VOLUNTEERS who have and continue to put in the time to make this happen. Thank you for your continued effort and support.

Catch Basins:

Our crews are working 24/7 to respond to catch basin ponding requests. Catch basins are the drains in your neighbourhood that allow water to drain into the storm water system. Thank you to the residents who are submitting those catch basin requests through 311. There are over 63,000 catch basins across the city, so knowing where these issues are helps us get to them in a timely manner.


Did you know? The Open Data Portal has a map of every catch basin here: https://data.edmonton.ca/Externally-Sourced-Datasets/Drainage-Map-View-Catch-Basin-Leads/8ma6-xpt5
