Community of Riverside Traffic Calming

Thank you to everyone who participated in the online survey regarding the proposed traffic calming measures for Riverside.

Here the process, where we are now, and what to expect next:

Concept – 2024-25

• Traffic calming poll held in Fall, 2024, with 82% of respondents indicating their support for a traffic calming program in Riverside
• Initial public workshop held in March, 2025, which saw residents provide input into areas of concern, and locations and types of traffic calming methods they preferred
• Based on the feedback from the workshop, the project team developed an initial concept plan for residents of Riverside to comment on

Survey – August-September 2025

• Concept feedback survey held August 26-September 18, with 62 residents providing 259 comments to refine the initial concept plan

Review Results – Fall 2025

• City of St. Albert and its consultants have reviewed the feedback

Develop Plans (WE ARE HERE) – Fall 2025/Winter 2026

• Plans are being finalized based on feedback, accepted traffic standards and City policies

Public Feedback – Spring 2026

• Riverside residents will be polled seeking support of the finalized plan.
• Watch for information about this public input opportunity to be sent to households.

Temporary Measures – Summer 2026

• Temporary traffic calming measures may be installed, pending budget availability.
• Temporary measures allow for a trial period during which any observations and changes can be made.
• Some temporary measures (i.e. vertical deflections) may be removed for winter operations.

Public Feedback – Fall 2026/Winter 2027

• Public feedback will be sought regarding the temporary measures installed before permanent construction begins.
• Watch for information about this public input opportunity to be sent to households.

Permanent Measures – TBD

• The construction of permanent measures is dependent on budget availability. Therefore, temporary measures may be used until funding becomes available.
