Since 2013, The City of Red Deer has invested in a number of community improvements to make Capstone development-ready. The work completed over the past 7 years includes the development of the Riverwalk pathway and Green Spine, significant road improvements (including a new intersection at Taylor Drive and Alexander Way); improved landscaping and parking; site servicing, utility connections, remediation and other work. In addition, new public gathering areas such as Canada 150 Square were also constructed as part of the revitalized area.
This upfront investment in the public realm and horizontal infrastrucure is critical to attract private, third-party investment to the area and will ensure that the City realizes its longer term objectives around densification, financial return and sustainabillity in the greater Downtown area.
A considerable amount of work has been completed over these past 7 years and we are grateful to the local business community and residents of Capstone for their patience during these impacts, including trail closures, construction noise & debris, detours and traffic interruptions. We are thrilled to have the majority of the construction work completed in the area and hope that you will continue to enjoy many of these newly constructed community amenities.
In the meantime, here's a breakdown of the work completed in each phase and stage of construction, including some "before and after" shots of the work completed. Enjoy!
