With the recent addition of several new all-Electric Vehicles (EV), the City of Lethbridge continues to make strides towards a more sustainable future.

Please be advised that 6 Avenue South, at the intersection of 7 Street South, will be reduced to one lane for westbound traffic beginning on Thursday, October 12. This lane reduction is required in order to facilitate waterline renewal work. Crews will be working to have this filled and paved as quickly as possible.

The new Inclusive and Accessible Play Space at Galt Gardens is now open. Located immediately adjacent to the Rotary Centennial Fountain in the southeast corner of the four-hectare park, the new space features inclusive and accessible play equipment, rubber surfacing, a plaza space and park furniture.

Effective immediately, 13 Street North will be closed between 13 Avenue and 15 Avenue so crews can complete a new service installation. This work is expected to be completed by end of day October 20, weather permitting.

On Tuesday, October 10, the City of Lethbridge will be completing a planned power outage along 10 Avenue and 10A Avenue South between 17 Street & 17A Street South beginning at 8:30 a.m. The outage is expected to be completed by 3 p.m. This outage will affect approximately 13 residences.

On Saturday, October 7 (updated date due to weather on September 30), from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., there will be a road closure at the intersection of Jerry Potts Boulevard and Algonquin Road West to facilitate intersection improvement work. This closure and work is weather pending.

Each winter, City of Lethbridge Transportation Operations staff provide winter snow and ice control services to keep Lethbridge safely on the move. In response to public feedback and City Council approval, the City will be adjusting snow-clearing practices.

“In 2020, we asked residents and stakeholders what they thought about our snow and ice clearing practices and they provided some great feedback which we used to develop changes,” says Darwin Juell, Transportation Manager. “Last winter we piloted the changes on approximately 23 kms of residential streets. We thank all residents who used the affected roadways regularly for their cooperation and feedback. This season, we’re expanding the network of snow routes to include a total of 83 kms of roadway.”

The City of Lethbridge continues to make efforts in supporting housing project proposals to leverage the funding opportunities of other orders of government.
