PURPOSE OF REPORT
Administration is in process of advancing corridor improvements to the north portion of St. Albert Trail, and has developed a road alignment that will deliver on the physical improvements of travel lanes and active mode accommodation in the short-term, while continuing to protect and consider long-term (future) accommodation of Light Rail Transit (LRT). The recommended road and future LRT alignment conflicts with the past LRT Study (2014) that had previously been approved by Council (C536-2015). This report and presentation provide background on the North St. Albert Trial Improvement project, an update of the recommended alignment for both the roadway and LRT, and recommendation to address the conflicting past approved Council motions that will then enable the North St Albert Trail Improvement work to advance.
