RIVERSIDE TRAFFIC CALMING
Whether on foot, cycling or driving, we all have places to be and want to get there safely. Riverside 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.
In fall 2024, the City conducted a neighbourhood-wide poll to gauge support for traffic calming in Riverside. Similar polls were conducted in three (3) other neighbourhoods: Mission, North Ridge and Oakmont.
Poll Results
For neighbourhood-wide traffic calming to advance, both of the following two 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.
Riverside Results
Response rate: 44% of households
Support level: 82% of respondents
Both criteria were met, so the neighbourhood-wide traffic calming project in Riverside is moving forward.
Next Steps
The City will be advancing the Riverside Traffic Calm Project through the following steps:
Project Update: All Riverside households will receive a letter outlining the next steps. The letter will also be posted on this page.
Review and Feedback: From August 26 to September 16, 2025, residents can review the draft Traffic Calming Plan and share their feedback. A link to review the plan and provide feedback on the Vertisee site will be available here starting August 26..
Refining the Plan: Feedback will be used to prepare a final plan, which will then be shared with the community for confirmation and support.
Implementation: If the community supports the plan, temporary measures are expected in spring 2026. Permanent construction would follow in 2027, subject to funding.
For further information, please refer to the attached What We Heard Report for Riverside, as well as an overall summary of what we heard from all four neighbourhoods polled.
