Burial of the Powerline in Phase Two (The Island)
Stripping and Grading activity is underway in Phase Two, and is anticipated to continue until October.  One of the items that residents requested to see during the land use process was for Cedarglen to look into the burial of the powerline crossing Phase Two. We have good news! Following the earthworks, the overhead powerline is anticipated to be removed and buried underground in October.

We are very excited to be moving ahead with upgrades to Country Hills Boulevard NE and Harvest Hills Way NE. While reasonable efforts will be made to minimize impacts to traffic flow during the upgrades, some delays or impacts will unavoidably occur during this time similar to other road construction projects throughout the city. Please plan your trips accordingly.

On behalf of Cedarglen Homes and The Parks of Harvest Hills, we are excited to write you regarding an opportunity to to have a gate installed within the existing chain link fence in your rear yard. This will provide you direct access to the open space being built directly behind your home! This offer applies only to the homes that have rear yards backing on to open space lands indicated on the map below.

We heard from members of the Harvest Hills community that additional information on the traffic calming along Harvest Hills Drive NE would be helpful.  

​

We hope the traffic delays will dissipate as construction is finalized, the traffic barriers are removed, and people get used to the change. The traffic calming changes you see were a response to community concerns heard during the land use stage regarding excessive speeds and pedestrian safety. The City heard the community, and asked for traffic calming measures to be implemented on Harvest Hills Drive.

Construction work on the shallow utilities (e.g. electrical, telephone, cable and natural gas) has been completed for Harvest Hills Way NE in Phase 1. Shallow utility installation is underway for Harvest Hills Manor NE, and is anticipated to be done by June 8th, weather permitting....

As spring (slowly!) arrives in Calgary, we are excited to begin updating you again about activity upcoming for the Parks of Harvest Hills! We heard from members of the Harvest Hills community that a regular update on construction activities happening within The Parks of Harvest Hills would be useful and of interest. Generally, we will provide updates during the construction season and provide our readers with a summary of what occurred on site since the last update and give the community an idea of what is likely to occur on site as we progress with construction. Please feel free to send in your questions and we will respond to you via email or address it within the next newsletter.

Since the last update, surface construction in Phase 1, including sidewalks and roads, has been ongoing. You may have noticed this activity occurring in the northeastern portion of the site. Road work for the season is now complete. Sidewalks, curbs, and asphalt have been installed at the intersection where the new show homes are being built. The remaining sidewalks and asphalt in the first phase will be completed in the Spring. All construction work in The Parks of Harvest Hills is weather permitting. The above timelines are estimates and are subject to change.  

October 31, 2017

The next stage of development will be surface construction in Phase 1, including sidewalks and roads. Work will begin within the next couple of weeks, in the northeast portion of the site (near the existing construction entrance). From there, surface construction will progress west, then south through Phase 1. Asphalt construction will follow the same pattern, about two weeks after surface works. Some of the pavement may be temporary for winter use only, depending on weather, with completion in the Spring. 

October 16, 2017

Construction work on the deep service installations is continuing. As part of this stage of the construction, there will be road closures and detours required for portions of Harvest Hills Drive NE. These closures will be in affect from October 18 at 07:00 AM - October 25 at 6:00 PM.  Harvest Hills Drive NE will be closed between Harvest Grove Close NE and Harvest Grove NE. The City of Calgary will place temporary signage around the existing community of Harvest Hills indicating the closures and detour routes. Please note, these closures will also impact Calgary Transit routes #88 and #109. These routes will temporarily be detoured along Harvest Lake Way NE.

September 28, 2017

Construction work on the deep service installations has begun. As part of this stage of the construction, there will be road closures and detours required for portions of Harvest Hills Gate NE and Harvest Hills Drive NE.  The first closures begin today, September 28th. Beginning at 2:00 PM and ending Sunday, October 1st, the west side of Harvest Hills Gate NW will be closed. Traffic will still flow north-south along Harvest Hills Gate NW, but will be reduced to one-lane either direction. On Monday, October 2nd, the road closure will flip to the east side of Harvest Hills Gate NW. The closures along Harvest Hills Gate NW will be completed by Thursday, October 5th.  The City of Calgary will place temporary signage around the existing community of Harvest Hills indicating the closures and detour routes.

Work has begun to prepare Phase 2 (the Island) for grading. Prior to the winter season, we have begun to drain the pond in Phase 2. In preparation for construction in this area of the former golf course, the pond will be drained and removed, some soil will be stockpiled, and trees that are not being retained long term will be removed from the site. The intent behind this work is to mitigate the concerns that some residents had regarding potential bird nesting by removing the potential habitat conflicts in advance of spring 2018. All permits required for this work are already approved and in place. 

August 29, 2017

Over the last couple of months, the site grading has been ongoing. Rough grading in the northwest portion of the site is now complete as far south as the southern edge of the Stormwater Pond. The remaining grading is ongoing to the southern boundary of the site, and is anticipated to be completed by the end of September, weather permitting. 

July 28, 2017

A few residents have requested that we look into some restrictive covenants that were registered on their titles when the lands were first developed by Genstar, largely to homes abutting the former golf course and the lands the golf course itself was on.  Restrictive covenants are charges registered on title to land that restrict the use of that land in some way, and the intention of these restrictive covenants mainly covers architectural controls and golf ball liability due to the proximity of the homes to the former golf course.  Several residents have requested that these be discharged from their titles, but due to the way in which they were registered, each homeowner encumbered by them must agree to their removal.
