City of Edmonton, Touch the Water Promenade

The river valley is a place people have been drawn to and gathered at since time immemorial. The City is exploring ways to improve access to the central river valley with the Touch the Water Promenade project. If the project moves forward, it would include opportunities to celebrate the area’s multi-layered heritage, encourage recreation and connect people with nature. 

The final Concept Report (39MB) provides a vision for both the North Shore and Rossdale project areas. The concept design acts as a blueprint for future development that reflects a shared vision for the central river valley and serves as a long-term plan to be implemented in phases over time.

There are two distinct project areas. 

  • The Rossdale Project Area has completed the preliminary design phase.
  • The North Shore Area has concluded with the concept phase. The North Shore Area may be revisited for future opportunities to complete project design as funding allows. 

The Touch the Water Promenade project is not funded for construction at this time.
