After a hiatus through August, Lethbridge City Council is about to return to its regular schedule of meetings. The next City Council meeting is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 17.

A busy roadway will be impacted by guardrail work this weekend.

Maintenance and clean-up will happen on Scenic Drive North, between 5 Avenue North and 9 Avenue North, on Sunday. The work is expected to be completed in one day.

While we’re still enjoying summer weather, residents who live on snow routes are asked to consider an optional service that will be piloted this winter. In the first two weeks of September, the City will hand-deliver postcards to each home along snow routes with more information about the new Snow Route Windrow Assistance Service. This new service is designed to help residents who face mobility challenges when navigating windrows. 

Snow route residents are encouraged to learn about the service and if applicable, call 311 between September 16 -27 to register. The sign-up window is the only time residents can subscribe for the 2024/2025 winter season and no early sign-up will be available.

Temporary traffic delays are expected tomorrow, Wednesday, September 4, on the southbound lanes of Scenic Drive South. The section of roadway between 2 Avenue South to the westbound Whoop-Up Drive exit will be affected by moving, single-lane closures from 9 am – 2 pm. 

It’s a bad news/good news situation.

The bad news? It’s the final long weekend of summer 2024. And that means outdoor pools and spray parks are set to close for the season.

The good news? Mother Nature is giving us great conditions to enjoy the sendoff! Forecast highs are into the high 20s and low 30s for the entire long weekend.

Monday, September 2 is Labour Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.
