Cold Lake, AB – Some sidewalks and trails in the city will be seeing an upgrade this construction season.
As part of the 2020 Sidewalks and Trail Connectivity Enhancement Project, five different areas will see improvements being made to allow for better pedestrian accessibility.
“Our sidewalks and trails are important in the city,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “A lot of people use them to access different parks, and it gives safer access for pedestrians to reach popular areas.”

Cold Lake, AB – Residents can expect to see more street improvements in 2020, as the Annual Capital Street Improvement Program commences.
“The focus is on streets that have a fair amount of traffic, or those that can no longer wait for repairs,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “The streets picked each year are chosen based on analytic software that looks closely at the street and its usage, and long-term capital investment strategies.”
The road analytics software examines the surface distress index of roadways and degradation curves to assist in making decisions on pavement resurfacing.

Cold Lake, AB – A project to replace the road to the Cold Lake Museums will also allow for the facilities’ infrastructure to be upgraded; a neighbourhood’s drainage concerns to be addressed, and will pave the way for future development.
Work has begun to replace the lower stretch of 69 Avenue leading to the Cold Lake Museums and the Cold Lake Mountain Bike Park. The long-standing request to rebuild the road will take place at the same time as the museums’ water line is replaced and up-sized. The water line upgrade will also allow for future developments in the area to be serviced.
Finally, drainage improvements will be made that will help to alleviate storm-water concerns in the Tri-City Estates area.
“Thanks to our staff’s forward-thinking approach we are able to tackle a number of issues at once, and use tax dollars as efficiently as possible so that infrastructure is installed in a coordinated manner,” Mayor Craig Copeland said. “Any one of these projects would have a significant and positive impact on the area, but being able to tackle them all at once allows for cost savings through efficiencies and the proper staging of the project phases, minimizing the chance that newly built infrastructure will be disturbed by future projects.”
