EPCOR Community Art Contest

99Ave-ArtContestPostcard

Good afternoon,

Attached is the postcard for the Community Art Contest that you can expect to see arriving in mailboxes in Crestwood, Glenora, Grovenor, and West Jasper Place shortly.

 

Many residents have seen the large worksite at 148 Street and Summit Drive. EPCOR would like to try to improve the look of that site by putting community art on the construction fence hoarding and we would like that art to come from the community.

There will be one winner from each of the following categories:

  • Ages 5-8
  • Ages 9-13
  • Ages 14-17

Crestwood Community Garden

Crestwood Community Garden

The Community League has been allotted 10 garden boxes filled with soil.
This initiative is to increase Edmontonians’ access to fresh food and to provide opportunities for safe activities that promote community involvement, recreation, and wellness. The temporary gardens consist of raised beds designed for community food production, and help to reduce barriers in increasing local food growing spaces.

Apply today for a garden plot, if demand is high we will do a lottery draw. Deadline to apply is June 6, 2021.

SOCCER registration & COVID

I’m sure you have seen COVID  numbers increasing over  the past month, culminating in record numbers for the entire pandemic in Alberta today.

The government of Alberta increased public health restrictions today.

While the newest public health restrictions still allow for the proposed 8:2 player to coach ratio , things are trending in the wrong direction. What this means for Crestwood soccer is there are a number of coaches who are not comfortable coaching this year. I am certain they will reach out to you individually to let you know their personal decisions.

Please know that we respect your individual decisions on whether you keep  your child enrolled or choose to withdraw. If  you are comfortable keeping your child enrolled in soccer we are confident that the league will find another team to place them on. If you wish to withdraw and have paid your fees already, you can email the league to request a refund. The website says; if you are a paid registered player, you have the option to request a refund, less a $10 admin fee. A refund  request must be submitted by May 16, 2021 to  accounts@ewzsa.com

Refunds less fixed costs after this date will be  issued if EMSA has cancelled the season only.

If you have registered but not paid, the zone will be sending an email by May 15 with updated information. if you choose to  participate, payment will be need  to be completed by May 19 2021.

Further details to follow.

The portal is currently closed for online  payment. Please reach out to  president@cclboard.ca if you have any questions.

Valley Line West LRT – EPCOR Utility Relocation Project Update 2021

EPCOR is responsible for relocating all the power, water and drainage utilities to avoid potential conflicts with the Valley Line West LRT infrastructure. This is the second stage of the Valley Line, an urban-style 27 km line that will operate between Mill Woods in southeast Edmonton and Lewis Farms in west Edmonton.

 

To meet the overall LRT project schedule, the City has requested that EPCOR perform the utility relocations within specific areas along the alignment prior to LRT construction.

 

Please see the attached for information on the upcoming 2021 work for this project. We would like to request your assistance with sharing this information on our behalf. Hard copies will be delivered to residents and businesses located near the work areas outlined in the attached notice next week.

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 780-412-4200.

Upcoming EPCOR Construction – MacKenzie Ravine Trestle Rehabilitation Project

2021-03-

Good morning,

I’d like to introduce myself – I’m Dawn Fenske, Senior Advisor, Communications with the Drainage Services team at EPCOR. I am reaching out regarding some upcoming EPCOR Drainage construction in your area.

 

EPCOR is responsible for the maintenance of the main sewer lines and associated infrastructure in Edmonton. As infrastructure ages, it can deteriorate in many different ways. The trestle located in the MacKenzie Ravine has been identified as requiring rehabilitation. The trestle is a bridge constructed out of steel to support a suspended sanitary sewer pipe across MacKenzie Ravine.

 

EPCOR will be rehabilitating the trestle by replacing and repairing broken steel sections of the structure. This work will occur in two phases:

 

  • Phase 1 – Removal/trimming of trees and vegetation – March/April 2021

Before construction can begin, a survey of the work area and steel structure is required to help determine the construction plan. To prepare for the survey, smaller vegetation, such as bushes and small saplings, will be removed/trimmed along the length of the trestle and is scheduled to begin on March 29, 2021 and is expected to be completed by April 15, 2021, weather permitting.

  • Phase 2 – Structural repairs to the trestle structure and fencing – anticipated to start in summer/fall 2021

Scaffolding and other supporting structures will be built to support the trestle while the broken sections are removed and replaced. The trestle will be repainted and the existing fences at each end of the trestle will be replaced. Structural repairs are anticipated to begin in summer/fall 2021 and are expected to be completed by end of December 2021.

 

These timelines are estimates and may change based on weather and construction conditions.

 

Attached is the project notice that will be delivered to residents in adjacent to the work area. We would like to request your assistance with sharing this information on our behalf.

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

Thank you,

Dawn
