West Jasper Place, Edmonton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Jasper Place is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is bounded by 149 Street on the east, 95 Avenue on the south, 156 Street on the west, and Stony Plain Road on the North. Originally part of the Town of Jasper Place, West Jasper Place became a part of Edmonton when Edmonton and Jasper Place amalgamated on August 17, 1964.

Approximately one third of the residential dwellings in the neighbourhood were built prior to the amalgamation of Jasper Place and Edmonton, with a significant number being built prior to the end of World War II.^[1]

The Centre for the Arts Campus (formerly Jasper Place Campus) of MacEwan College is located in the north west corner of West Jasper Place.

As a bit of trivia, during the 1980s and 1990s, Edmonton Transit System buses travelling out to West Edmonton Mall and the neighbourhoods west of 170 Street showed a destination of West Jasper Place. This meant a bus route with a destination west of the old Jasper Place townsite, rather than a bus route with the neighborhood of West Jasper Place as the destination. Bus routes terminating in the townsite area usually showed a destination of Jasper Place.
