In the future, 104 Avenue will have wider sidewalks, an LRT line running through it and denser housing developments as it goes through Oliver.
Councillors unanimously passed a new plan for the area Monday.
If realized, the plan could see the large commercial plazas that now exist along the stretch eventually replaced with more residential towers along with smaller scale stores and restaurants.
Coun. Scott McKeen said the Edmonton is changing and the changes to 104 Avenue are just one example of what is coming.
“We are now transitioning into a city with more density, more traffic, more demand for parking. We are going to be in a struggle the next few years over this,” he said.
McKeen said the West LRT, which could come to the street faster than the city expected, is going to change the neighbourhood.
