Project Background:

For additional information please see the 2005 and 2006 components of this project.

The Valleyview development is a multi-staged residential subdivision development being constructed in the south of Camrose Drive along Valleyview Drive (the southern extension of Parkview Drive).

For more information on lot availability and prices, please contact Dennis Twomey at City Hall, (780) 672-4426 or see our online brochure.

Project Profile:

The remaining work on Phase 2 of the Valleyview Subdivision involves the installation of the sidewalks, pararamps, and individual lane aprons.

The 2007 Phase 3 component of this project involves surface improvements includes the installation of the sidewalks, pararamps, and individual lane aprons, as well as the construction of concrete drainage swales to provide back-of-lot property drainage (this was started in 2006, but was delayed due to the early winter).

The 2007 planned work for Phase 4 includes all surface work (roads, curbs & gutters, road signage, & fine lot grading), the installation of all shallow utilities (power, gas, cable, & telephone), and the installation of the concrete back-of-lot drainage swales. Phase 4 lots may be available for purchase & house construction in 2007 or 2008 during which time, sidewalks, pararamps, and lane aprons will be constructed.

In 2006, the underground installation of the deep utilities (water, sanitary, & storm sewer) began for Phase 5, the final phase for the Valleyview residential subdivision. Due to weather delays from the early winter, the installation of these utilities had to be postponed until 2007. In 2007, we plan to complete the remaining portions of the underground utility installations, as well as the major grading work to establish future drainage routes. Generally, underground utilities are installed one year in advance of any surface improvements such as paving and sidewalks, as the majority of trench settlement typically occurs within the first year of installation. By delaying surface improvements we minimize concrete cracking and "dips" in road surface resulting in a higher quality product for the property purchaser. As much of the underground utilities were installed in 2006, City Council may choose to proceed with some or all of the following projects in 2007: surface work (including roads, curbs & gutters, roadway signage, & fine lot grading), installation of shallow utilities (power, gas, telephone, & cable), and the installation of concrete drainage swales, sidewalks, pararamps, and lane aprons.
