Additional Project Information

The Public Operations Site is located immediately North of the Crowsnest Trail and south of 5th Avenue North. 

The site is optimally located for efficient delivery of services. Major buildings on the site include: the Fleet (vehicle repair and storage) facility, Public Operations /Electrical Operations / Stores Building, Parks and transportation building, Facility Services/ Employee Resource Centre Building, and the Transit Garage and Repair Facility. 450 to 650 employees (35 to 50% of all City staff) work at the site depending on the season

The following issues with the current Operations  Site are:

• The Fleet and Parks and Transportation Building are in poor condition.
• The Fleet building is partially located on a closed land fill; an extraction system removes methane gas that seeps in. Consolidation of the land fill is causing significant structural damage.
• Buildings are poorly ventilated.
• Enclosed vehicle storage areas scattered throughout the site creates inefficient operations.
• Traffic patterns are extremely dangerous.
• The Police Impound is not a complementary activity for the site.
