How does the Municipality choose which roads are to be included in the annual Road Program?
Each year, the Infrastructure and Operations department assembles a list of projects that have been identified as possible Road Program projects by the Divisional Councillor, Municipal staff and the general public. Projects are then rated on the following criteria: – Safety considerations; – Current condition and maintenance costs; – Traffic volumes; – Included on divisional priority list; – Potential high traffic volume road; – Possibility of outside funding request from Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation or adjacent Municipality. Overall ratings are calculated and used by Transportation Services staff to establish the proposed annual Road Program. All projects included on this program must be approved by Council. Council also looks at a three year road program priority list, based on these overall ratings.
