Feeder main repair – Construction updates

There will be changes in waste collection for some residences on the south side of 33 Ave N.W. due to the water main repairs. These residences are identified in purple and yellow highlighting on the map below.  

Residents in areas highlighted in purple can continue to put out their carts as usual. There is no change in waste collection for these homes, including no change to scheduled collection days.    

Residents in areas highlighted in yellow will not be able to receive cart service because the waste collection trucks will not be able to access these homes while the water main repairs are taking place. Instead, residents in the yellow-highlighted areas will be asked to use the large dumpsters placed at key points along 33 Ave N.W. (as shown on the map below).

House numbers including:  

• 8807 - 8515 
• 8355 - 8303 
  
• 8007 - 7903  

will have no waste, recycling, or compost cart service during construction.  

A temporary parking lot will be set up at 34th Avenue and 86th Street N.W. Access to the lot will be off of 86th Street N.W. The parking lot will be monitored 24/7 by security. 

Temporary accessible parking spots will be created for residents who self-identified as having mobility challenges and requiring parking close to their home. Please be considerate of these special accommodations and don’t park in these designated areas.

See more information regarding parking permits below.

The City of Calgary will be introducing parking permits for the temporary parking lot being established at 34 Ave N.W. and 86 St. N.W.

• Permits will be provided to those with both driveway and street parking impacts on 33 Ave. N.W. as identified on the construction map.
• Two permits will be provided per household.  
• We understand the temporary lot parking is limited, and parking will be on a first come first serve basis; parking permits do not ensure a parking space will be available.
• Permitted parking at this lot will go into effect Thursday, August 29, 2024. 

Permits will be delivered to the households with both driveway and street parking impacts by City of Calgary teams by the end of day Wednesday, August 28, 2024.   

If you do not meet the stated criteria for permitted parking but are a resident in the immediate project area with an extenuating circumstance that would benefit from consistent parking support, please contact: CBR@calgary.ca. 

We are establishing agreements with affected properties along the South side of 33^rd Ave to grant access for pedestrians to walk across properties impacted by construction to help maintain access to homes.

Arrangements have been made with Canada Post to ensure that all mail service continues uninterrupted. 

As requested through our discussion with area residents, wagons will be made available to help transport groceries or other items from vehicles to homes from the temporary parking lot area (corner of 34^th Ave and 86^th St N.W – access is off of 86 Street). Please return them here when you are done using them. 

The construction sites have been planned to allow for emergency services vehicles access.

If the mitigation efforts above do not sufficiently help and the impacts of construction become too much, The City is willing to provide residents with temporary accommodations in hotels during construction. 

This offer is being made available to residents who reside on 33 Avenue N.W. between 78 Street N.W. and 87 Street N.W.

The water feeder main does not directly connect to residential homes on 33 Avenue N.W. Homes are serviced through a separate water line which will receive water from the Glenmore reservoir when the repairs are undertaken.

All residents will have access to their laneways for the duration of the project.

Residents whose landscaping and driveway are impacted by construction will be contacted directly by the City’s Community Business Relations department. 

We are developing our construction plan to reduce impacts on private property, however, we may need to encroach on a few properties to support construction activities.

Our Community Business Relations team will be contacting any affected residents prior to construction.
