Last November, CMLC and Attainable Homes Calgary announced a finalized partnership agreement for the redevelopment of the former David D. Oughton school site in the southeast community of Albert Park/Radisson Heights.
The 8.77 acre site located at 16th Avenue and 34th Street SE has been slated for redevelopment for the past several years. The former CBE school site has sat vacant since the school was closed in 2006. The site is expected to include 280 townhouse-style homes geared towards moderate-income families, as well as a dedicated green space and municipal reserve that is anticipated to equate to approximately three acres of the total site, providing a balance of programmed green space that is accessible to the broader community and will serve as a complement to the new homes.

Munro Park, located at 425 18 Ave NE was initially developed in 1948. The park is located in Ward 4, however due to its close proximity to Renfrew in Ward 9, we wanted to share the following information with the community.
While the park is currently well-used, there is potential to further enliven the lives of local residents, enhance local business activities, and improve connectivity in the area. The City of Calgary has implemented some improvements in Munro Park, but there is a larger vision to add playful amenities and connect different park spaces into a cohesive design, considering operational needs from the early stages. The design development phases of this project will inspire contributions on the possibilities before recommending creative, fun, and inclusive investments for all seasons.

The City of Calgary has been actively monitoring the Beaverdam Flats slope, located adjacent to the western edge of the Riverside Gate Condo property. Our recent geotechnical investigations have revealed signs of instability in the slope. Based on our studies to date, a potential future failure at this site would threaten the integrity of the Bow River Pathway (located on City lands) and the trail at the top of the slope (located on Riverside Gate Condos’ lands), but it would not likely effect the condo buildings themselves.

Calgary is in a housing crisis. We need more homes. The citywide rezoning proposed in Home is Here: The City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy will help.
How will rezoning help?
This change will help increase the supply of housing to better meet demand by reducing the costs and timelines for permit approvals. This means more housing is able to be built faster. It also allows for greater housing variety, options, and price points to suit more Calgarians needs.
If you’re renting or buying, rezoning increases the number and types of homes available in all communities, making homes more affordable. If you own property, you’ll have more options to meet your future needs.

To meet the current and projected wastewater needs, we have added 3.5 km of new sanitary pipe (Phase One) and will be adding another 600 m of sanitary pipe (Phase Two). This new trunk is critical to maintaining a high-level of sanitary service to Inglewood and surrounding communities.
In early December, City crews will begin setting up the construction area on the south side of the Bow River.

We are confirming construction timelines for 2024 and will ensure this page is kept up-to-date.

As the GreenLine LRT begins to shift from planning to implementation, we are at a place where key challenges and opportunities associated with the current GreenLine station designs in Ward 9 need to be addressed. These challenges and opportunities are grounded in the perspective I have as a 10+ year advocate and champion of the GreenLine in my role as the area’s City Councillor, as well as my 20+ year role as an urban design professional working with East Calgary Communities towards the transit-oriented future we are now on the brink of achieving.
