Construction continues on the Plaza. Some questions that have been asked recently:

Will this project impact my event in 2020?

During construction: No, EFCL has agreed to cease construction activities during festival events. EFCL started construction after the festival and event season in 2019, and though construction will continue during SilverSkate festival in February of 2020, it will not interfere with the event. We have the schedules for all planned events in 2020 from the City of Edmonton. Our hope is that the plaza and the art installations along the stream will be completed by the end of May 2020.

Yes, as construction progresses there are often decisions that need to be made as unforeseen costs
emerge prompting changes or unexpected cost savings occur that allow for new opportunities to
enhance the project. If there are changes that have a confirmed impact to the scope of the design, EFCL will be happy to share that news with the festivals and events through our project page and through the City of Edmonton project steering committee that liaises with the festivals and events directly.

Yes, at additional design and construction expense, EFCL further widened the narrowest point of the pathway through the plaza from X meters to 10 meters. Pedestrian flow ( golf cart access ) over the existing bridge will remain the same as there are no changes to this structure in the design.
