Lacombe City Council has approved the revised 2024 Capital Works Program.  

The program includes $3.6 million in improvements throughout the city.   

Council had previously approved the program in the 2024 Capital Budget.   

However, the scope of work on the alleyways north of 49A Avenue and 49 Avenue required additional funding to complete sanitary and storm sewer replacements. The work was deferred to 2025 to replace aging infrastructure at the same time.  

"I am pleased to announce that council has approved the 2024 Capital Works Program, which will allow us to invest in projects that will enhance our city's infrastructure, services, and quality of life,” Mayor Grant Creasey said. "The Program reflects our commitment to fiscal responsibility and supports our strategic priorities. These investments will advance sustainable infrastructure that will benefit residents and commuters for years.”  

Key projects in the program include:  

  • C&E Trail north of the roundabout - Asphalt resurfacing   

  • 47 Avenue from 46 Avenue to Hwy 2A - Asphalt resurfacing and catch-basin repairs  

  • 46 Avenue from Hwy 2A to 45 Street – Asphalt resurfacing   

  • Trail to Len Thompson Fish Pond - Hwy 2A and Rail Crossing (2023 carry-over)   

  • Gravel lane base repair and re-alignment between 53 and 54 Avenues at C&E Trail   

  • 45 Street Sidewalk from 46 Avenue to 50 Avenue   

  • 53 Street select Sidewalk replacements between 52 and 54 Avenues to address drainage issues  

Work will begin in August and is expected to be completed in September.  

The city is also facilitating the installation of a pedestrian crossing at the Parkland Adventist Academy on College Ave.  

The city is coordinating the work, but as part of the development permit, the developer will pay for the project.
