This project requires the closure of Ogden Road SE from 76 Avenue to 80 Avenue SE to traffic and pedestrians to ensure efficient, safe, and timely construction.
Ogden Road SE will be closed to all but local traffic between 76 Ave and 78 Ave SE.
Transit stops will be temporarily relocated on Ogden Road SE north of 76 Ave SE and there may be some parking restrictions in effect.
The Inglewood Aquatic Centre has been identified as one of 13 City-operated recreation facilities that require major electrical repairs. While there is no safety risk for customers or staff accessing the facility, there is a risk the electrical system could unexpectedly fail. In consideration of Council’s prior decision to permanently close the facility and to reduce the risk of sudden impacts to customers and swim clubs, Inglewood Aquatic Centre will close on December 22, 2024.
