Whether on foot, cycling or driving, we all have places to be and want to get there safely. North Ridge residents have reported road safety concerns and submitted them to the City of St. Albert through an application for traffic calming, and the neighbourhood was confirmed as eligible for the Traffic Calming Program.

Following the City’s Neighbourhood Traffic Calming procedures, the City initiated a Neighbourhood Traffic Calming poll in fall 2024 seeking feedback from North Ridge residents regarding support of neighbourhood wide traffic calming in North Ridge.

Similar polling was also conducted in three (3) other neighbourhoods in the City (Mission, Oakmont, Riverside).

For neighbourhood wide traffic calming to advance further through the process the following two (2) criteria must be met:

  • A minimum of 40% of neighbourhood households must respond to the poll; and
  • A minimum of 55% of the responses received must “support” traffic calming.

The poll closed in early October 2024, and the results have been processed.

33% of North Ridge households responded to the poll, with 54% of those responses in support of traffic calming in their neighbourhood. Because the minimum 40% response rate was not achieved, neighbourhood wide traffic calming in North Ridge will not be proceeding at this time.

The City may consider traffic calming measures on individual streets in the future based on further requests and ongoing data collection. This would involve further engagement with neighbourhood residents.

For further information please refer to the attached What We Heard Report for North Ridge, as well as an overall summary of what we heard from all four neighbourhoods polled.
