Ive heard that Strathearn will experience construction for about seven years because of the redevelopment. Is this correct?
Yes, the full redevelopment project will take about seven years to complete. It is important to remember a couple of points. First, the owner/developers are very much aware of the potential impacts of the construction on the community. As good Strathearn citizens, they want to minimize any disruption. Second, the redevelopment will be done in stages, and each stage of construction would be contained as much as possible to the immediate area. Third, the City of Edmonton has certain requirements of developers in this regard to minimize disruption in the vicinity. One should bear in mind that the proposed redevelopment is a long-term project and therefore the developers cannot afford any major negative disruptions from construction whether from noise, dirt or dust. It is in their best interests as well as those of the neighbourhood that every phase of development be executed successfully and without negative impact.
