O-day’min Park (formerly Warehouse Park)

I know this forthcoming, but it looks pretty rough and incomplete right now.

Speaking of which:

Alleyway and Road Renewal Work​

Alleyway and road renewal work is required adjacent to O’day min Park to improve connectivity, upgrade infrastructure and improve access for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles in the area. To help maintain access to O’Day min Park, nearby businesses and the surrounding area, construction will be completed in six phases, with Stage 1 beginning as early as April 13. Pedestrian access to O’day min Park and surrounding businesses will be maintained throughout construction, though routes may change as work progresses.

Stage 1: April - July
Starting as early as April 13, construction will begin on a new storm line utility and a new alley north of the park (see the Construction Stages Map). The new paving stone alley will link 106 Street and 107 Street. Stage 1 also includes a new pedestrian walk with low-impact development (LID) soil cells and streetscape features, including decorative lighting trees and planters, along the east side of 106 Street south of 102 Avenue to the new alley.

Traffic and Access Impacts:​

• 106 Street will be closed south of 102 Avenue to the alley north of Jasper Avenue.
• Park access will be maintained for pedestrians and cyclists, and the parking lot on the east side of 106 Street will remain available.

• Street will remain available.

Stage 2: June - July
Construction will be on the north side of 107 Street between O’day min Park and 102 Avenue. Stage 2 includes new sidewalks, roadway improvements and streetscape features, such as decorative lighting poles, trees and planters.

Access Impacts:​

• Pedestrian and business access will be maintained.

Stage 3: June - July
Crews will complete a new alley paving stone north of O’day min Park, between Khazana and the Alberta Craft Council building, just south of 102 Avenue.

Access Impacts:​

• Pedestrian and business access will be maintained.

Stage 4: July - August
New paving stones will be installed in the alleyway connecting 106 Street to 107 Street on O’day min Park’s southern border. Work will occur on 107 Street.

Access Impacts:​

• Access to the parking lots will be maintained.

Stage 5: September - October
New paving stones will be installed in the alleyway connecting 106 Street to 107 Street on O’day min Park’s southern border. Work will occur on 107 Street.

Access Impacts:​

• Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

Stage 6: 2027 (To Be Confirmed)
Work will include the installation of low-impact development soil cells (LID) to improve drainage, new sidewalks and additional streetscaping features like decorative lighting and landscaping on 106 Street between Jasper Avenue and the centre of O’day min Park. Construction timelines will be confirmed closer to 2027.

Access Impacts:​

• Pedestrian access along 106 Street will be maintained.

Going to be a busy area, especially the logistics around 106st.

Even with the roadwork, I'm glad the park is open for use during.

Was this not possible to coordinate with the park construction? The park's first summer coming up and it is going to be surrounded by construction.

A lot of the work was delayed so that utilities for surrounding developments could be completed first; otherwise they'd have to rip up brand new infrastructure to do that work.

I would like to see a stage 7 that would connect the alleyway between O’day min Park and BHHP (teasin', just teasin' @ADob), dressed up and prepped to shine.
