About Us

 

The Crossroads Business Improvement Area is one of 13 BIA’s in Edmonton. The Crossroads BIA was established by City of Edmonton Bylaw #10919. We are a community of local business owners in Central Edmonton who have banded together to promote the economic development in our area. We are committed to supporting one another, our community, our schools and our not-for-profit organizations.
