琉璃神社 residents can expect to see several projects moving forward under the city鈥檚 (TAP).

"TAP is an initiative designed to enhance our city's transportation network and respond to faster growth,鈥 said Gordon Foy, transportation engineering manager. 鈥淏y delivering projects sooner, we can improve mobility, safety, and connectivity for our residents.鈥

Accelerated projects include: 

  • Frost Road Extension: Extend Frost Road from Killdeer Road to Chute Lake Road, including the construction of a new roundabout at Chute Lake Road. Construction is underway.
  • Burtch Road Extension: Extend Burtch Road from Denver Road to K.L.O. Road. Utility upgrades will start this summer, followed by road construction later this year, and anticipated completion in 2026.
  • Hollywood Road Extension: Extend Hollywood Road from John Hindle Drive to Sexsmith Road, including bike lanes, sidewalks and upgraded intersections. Construction starts later this year.
  • Glenmore Road Improvements: Expand Glenmore Road from two lanes to four lanes between Union Road and Scenic Road, coordinated with major utility upgrades. Construction is underway.
  • Lakeshore Road Improvements: Add left turn lanes at intersections and a sidewalk on the east side of Lakeshore Road, from Swordy Road to Wilson Creek Bridge. Construction is planned to start this year.

According to a city media release, 鈥渋ncreased housing and commercial construction has led to higher development cost charge revenue and reserves, providing more funds for transportation infrastructure.鈥 

The projects will provide multiple benefits to the community, such as enhancing mobility, safety, connectivity, and livability in the city, the release adds.
