How the project is funded
The project is primarily funded by developers through the Development Cost Levy, with additional funding from local development projects.
We’re upgrading critical sewer infrastructure and making transportation upgrades along West 49th Avenue between Cambie Street and Main Street. Sewer upgrade work will also extend to Alberta Street, between West 44th and West 49th Avenues.
The existing sewer system will be replaced with a separated and larger-capacity system, with 1 pipe for rainwater runoff and another pipe for sewage. This new sewer main will have a life expectancy of 100 years to help serve this growing neighbourhood.
As part of this work, we will upgrade water main infrastructure and rehabilitate pavement along West 49th Avenue.
Information icon Between 2022 and 2024, we completed sewer and transportation upgrades on West 49th Avenue between Oak Street and Cambie Street.
Transportation improvements
To support the city’s transportation network and improve bus speed and reliability, we will be installing new bus priority lanes on West 49th Avenue between Cambie Street and Main Street.
What's happeningPhase 1 underway until early 2026
In March 2025, we’ll start the first phase of the upgrade work at Quebec and East 50th Avenue. The work will then move northwest along Ontario Street and 50th Avenue towards West 49th Avenue between Ontario Street and Cambie Street.
Phase 2, located on Alberta Street from West 44th to West 49th Avenues, is expected to start in early 2026.
