Supporting Neighbourhoods in St. Albert

That means safer streets, better local services, and more opportunities for neighbours to come together. A stronger city starts with stronger communities.

• Neighbourhood Voices Matter: Create a “Neighbourhood Report Card” (traffic, snow clearing, playgrounds, road quality) so residents see progress in their area.
• Safe, Walkable, Livable Areas: Improve crosswalk safety, lighting, and traffic calming in residential areas. Maintain parks, pathways, and trails that connect neighbourhoods. Encourage green spaces and community gardens.
• Neighbourhood-Centered Services: Push for city services (snow removal, waste pickup, road repair) to be more responsive at the community level rather than “one-size-fits-all.” Consider pilot programs where neighbourhoods can propose small-scale projects (like a new bench, crosswalk sign, or playground upgrade).

Better City Services

Basics first — clear standards, public reporting, and consistent follow‑through.

• Snow & Ice: Faster clearing of priority roads, sidewalks, and bus stops with posted timelines.
• Road Repairs: A public schedule for pothole fixes and paving so residents know when their street is up next.
• Parks & Green Spaces: Regular maintenance, safe play areas, and seasonal beautification.
• 311 Accountability: Track and publish response times — then improve them year over year.

Traffic & Transit

Move people safely and efficiently — where it matters most.

• Smarter Signals: Modernize intersections to reduce wait times and ease congestion.
• Safer School Zones: More flashing lights, clear signage, and crossing supports.
• Transit That Works: Focus routes where ridership is strongest, with reliable schedules.
• Regional Connections: Better links with Edmonton and surrounding communities for workers and students.

Local Business Growth

Make St. Albert the easiest place to start and grow a business.

• Cut Red Tape: Streamline permitting so small businesses can open or expand faster.
• Local Procurement: Make it easier for St. Albert businesses to win city contracts.
• Small Biz Support: Create a one‑stop “business concierge” to help navigate city processes.
• Attract Investment: Actively market St. Albert to entrepreneurs — keep jobs and tax dollars local.

Youth & Community

Programs, recreation, and apprenticeships so young people can learn and work close to home.

Safe, Green Infrastructure

We need to invest wisely in the basics while preparing for the future. For me, that means:

• Fixing what we already have — better roads, sidewalks, trails, and lighting so everyone feels safe moving around our city.
• Making neighbourhoods safer — improved crosswalks, safer school zones, and drainage that works during heavy rain or spring melts.
• Protecting and growing green spaces — more trees, well‑kept parks, and trails that bring people together.
• Building for the future — sustainable upgrades like LED lighting, energy‑efficient facilities, and practical bike/walking connections that cut traffic and keep St. Albert healthy.

Safe, Green Infrastructure is about keeping our city strong, safe, and beautiful — today and for the next generation.
