Glenpatrick Drive Infrastructure Replacement

DESCRIPTION

The Glenpatrick Drive Infrastructure Replacement Project consists of full replacement of water, sewer and storm underground pipes and road structure along Glenpatrick Drive from Fifth Avenue and Glenbrook Crescent.

The project will also include:

• widening of sidewalks to support mobility and pedestrian activity
• upgrading of the intersection of Glenhill Dr / Glenpatrick Rd / Glenpatrick Dr with a mini-roundabout to enhance vehicular movements and create safer pedestrian crossings 
• Upgrading the storm system on Glenbow Dr to increase capacity, resulting in reduced frequency and intensity of surface flooding adjacent to the CPR tracks.

SCHEDULE

BACKGROUND

Approved in the 2023 capital budget, this project is required due to high maintenance costs and failure risks related to the aging infrastructure. Ductile iron pipe used for the original water main construction is deteriorating due to hot soil conditions (rusting from the outside in). Multiple leaks have occurred and without replacement customer service interruptions and increased operating expenditures can be expected.

BUDGET

Total project budget: 5.5M 

HOW DOES THIS PROJECT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY?

• Increased community connectivity: the sidewalks will be widened and the roadway will be upgraded, including a mini traffic circle, to increase safe traffic flow through the community. 
• New infrastructure will ensure that leaks are avoided in the area and will provide the opportunity for future development of the Rodeo Grounds. 

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

This project supports Council's commitment to livability, connectivity and vibrant economy and will build on the foundation financial and environmental stewardship and built environment.
