+ The Grandview Heights stairs are located northwest of the Grandview Heights neighbourhood

+ The project is part of a larger River Valley Stair Rehabilitation program

+ Rehabilitation is required due to the age, material degradation and usage of the stairs.

+ Public engagement sessions were conducted between February 2019 - November 2019

+ The final concept design was completed in early 2020

+ The Grandview Heights stairs will be replaced in 2020 to align with the Grandview Neighbourhood Renewal project.
