Lloydminster, AB/SK – Streetfest attendees will get a first look at the nearly completed downtown rehabilitation on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
This week, crews have been diligently working to finish installing landscaping edgers so that various types of trees and flowers can be planted as part of the downtown beautification efforts.
Concrete crosswalks at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 50 Street and pigmented concrete was also completed. These enhancements are designed to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility and elevate the area's aesthetic appeal.
In preparation for the family-friendly event on Saturday, the City's street sweeping crew worked throughout the night to ensure debris was cleared from the streets.
At the conclusion of Streetfest, the 50 Avenue and 50 Street intersection will open to motorists. To help ensure the public and contractors' safety, 50 Street between 50 Avenue and 49 Avenue will remain closed until the remainder of the work is completed, which is scheduled to be June 14, 2024, weather permitting.
Throughout spring construction, the sidewalks will remain accessible, ensuring uninterrupted access to businesses for patrons and visitors.
Downtown Parking & Navigation
Detour and local traffic-only signs will be placed throughout the area to show traffic and visitors how to access properties while avoiding the construction site. Until the end of the construction period, no parking or pedestrian access will be permitted in the work zone. Emergency access will be maintained to all affected businesses at all times through alternate routes.
Project Scope
In 2023, the program replaced and upgraded underground municipal infrastructure throughout the downtown core to maintain the serviceability and longevity of the city’s underground systems. Above ground, passersby saw the removal and reconstruction of the roadway surface and sidewalks. Moving into 2024, this portion of the project will see the installation of benches, landscaping and other public amenities to bring the DARP's vision to life.
Work will occur between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Sundays.
