The Town of Sylvan Lake is beginning early planning work on two major road projects designed to improve traffic flow, increase safety, and prepare for future growth.
One project will see a new roundabout constructed at the intersection of Memorial Trail and 50 Street, a busy crossing that town officials say is nearing capacity and in need of upgrades.
At the same time, the Town is preparing plans for a redevelopment of 50 Street from Memorial Trail to Perry Drive.
Because this section of 50 Street connects directly with the proposed roundabout, both projects are being designed together in order to save money and streamline the planning process.
Although neither project is scheduled to begin construction this year, the Town is inviting residents to share their thoughts on the designs.
An open house will be held on September 4 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the NexSource Centre during the Fun Fest Info Fair, where residents can review display boards and speak with staff about the plans.
For those unable to attend, an online survey will be available from September 2 to 21.
Town officials say community feedback will help finalize the roundabout design and guide the redevelopment of 50 Street.
