We’re upgrading sewer infrastructure along Highbury Street between West 31st Avenue and the laneway south of West 33rd Avenue, including a section that runs underneath Memorial West Park.
The existing sewer system will be replaced with a separated and larger-capacity system, with one pipe for rainwater runoff and another pipe for sewage.
Trenchless sewer construction
To minimize impacts to residents, park facilities, and mature trees, we’ll use trenchless methods to install the upgraded sewer system between W 31st and W 33rd Avenues.
This underground method minimizes surface disruption. We'll dig access pits at either end of the park and install the sewer between them.
What's happeningSummer 2026: Project complete
Crews have completed underground sewer work through the pathway in Memorial West Park and nearby road repaving.
A new sewer separation project will begin shortly, with work taking place primarily north of W 31st Ave and Highbury St.
For more information, review the road closures and construction projects map.
