Revitalization work on F.W. Hill Mall, also known as Scarth Street Mall, is underway and the City is looking for your feedback.
Almost 50 years ago, Scarth Street between 11th and 12th Avenue was designated a pedestrian mall, prohibiting all vehicle traffic. As the above and underground infrastructure is being updated, the community now has the opportunity to re-imagine the current needs and future aspirations for the downtown space. This engagement explores how that might look.
The redesign is intended to enhance the overall enjoyment and better activate the space throughout all seasons and during all times of day to support local businesses, public events and overall vibrancy of the City Centre.
This spring, residents were asked for their feedback on whether it’s time to reconsider some level of vehicle access on the block. Later this fall the community will have another opportunity to provide feedback on street design.
The survey, completed June 10, described three scenarios for vehicle access. Findings will be used to inform a Council discussion on whether to revisit the 1975 traffic bylaw that prohibited vehicle access on the Scarth Street mall.

Findings from this survey will be included in a report to Council on whether to revisit the 1975 decision to close Scarth St. between 11th and 12thAvenue to all vehicle traffic. The report will consider how to revitalize Scarth St. as a pedestrian and event-friendly space and encourage more visits during regular business hours, outside regular business hours and off season (winter).
