Over the course of the next few months, the City’s Office of Environment & Energy, Community Services, Transit and Transportation departments will work with the Parkallen community to transform it into a neighbourhood where a variety of elements of eco-mobility are brought together. This exciting initiative will put Edmonton on the world map once again!
