The Transportation Master Plan...

• Functions as an implementation tool that

supports the overall Municipal Development Plan’s goals, objectives and high-level policies;

• Examined various transportation corridors to

ensure effective development of transportation infrastructure to support Leduc’s future growth;

• Establishes roadway planning initiatives,

provide for contingencies and establish targets for roadway improvements; and

• Guides and coordinates future urban growth

decisions and infrastructure investment.

• 1. TMP Function and Objectives

TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN

• Land Use
• Transportation Modeling
• Transit
• Heavy Vehicle Routes
• Multi-Way (Cycling, Pedestrian

etc.)

FUNCTIONAL CORRIDOR ANALYSIS

• Functional Corridor

Planning

• Transit

2018 TMP

This Transportation Master Plan...

• Update the City’s 2013

TMP

• Plan for the City’s future

growth & infrastructure.

• Develop a blueprint for

the future transportation network.

• Develop strategic

transportation policy statements. Identify and improve the

• transportation network
• multi-way system,
• heavy vehicle routes; &
• rapid transit corridors.

Enhance the City’s

• Pedestrian connectivity

Roadway connectivity &

• inter-regional

transportation network.

The City of Leduc has experienced sustained growth.

• Approximate number of residential permits:
• 460 units in 2012;
• 500 units in 2013 (10% increase);
• 640 units in 2014 (26% increase);
• 350 units in 2015 (45% decrease);
• 220 units in 2016 (36% decrease); and
• 330 units in 2017 (46% increase).
• 2. Background: We Are Growing!

CONCLUSION: The pace of development has slowed over the last 3-years but we continue to grow.

• Energy sector decline has affected the pace
• f development, but provides the
• pportunity to:
• update, develop & refine the City’s TMP;
• develop a proactive approach to the

internal transportation planning process; and

• guide infrastructure objectives of the

municipality.

• 3. Existing and Proposed Land Uses
• The study has incorporated

all planned developments within the City. South and West:

• Mostly residential

developments. North and East:

• Mostly business and

industrial developments.

• A phasing strategy was

developed for each growth area.

• Consultation was

undertaken with development proponents and City staff.

Route 1 (red) terminates at Century Park LRT Station in Edmonton Leduc Transit Ridership Distribution

Route 1: 70.0% Route 2: 14.1% Route 4: 7.8% Route 3: 6.4% Route 5: 1.7%

• 4. Future Transit Initiatives

Goal: Explore the possible development of a Transit Corridor (TC) to/from Leduc’s west side and identify potential alignments. Benefits: Develop a stronger synergy between transit and land use by encouraging Transit Oriented Developments (TOD’s). Background: Relevant Studies & Plans

• Edmonton International Airport Master Plan 2010-2035

(2010)

• Aerotropolis Integrated Land Use Compatibility Plan (2011)
• City of Leduc Municipal Plan (2012)
• City of Leduc Transportation Master Plan (2013)
• Alberta Aerotropolis Viability Study (2015)
• Queen Elisabeth II and 65th Avenue [Leduc] Interchange

Functional Planning Study (2016)

Potential rapid transit alignments into west Leduc.

“A”: Grand MacEwan Boulevard “B”: West periphery (Deer Valley, West Haven

and Suntree Estates)

“C”: Central (integrated within NW 33, Crystal Creek,

Woodbend and SW28, NW21 communities)

“D”: 74th Street Proposed Potential Options: 4 corridors were assessed

5/8/2018

• 4. Transit Corridor Alternatives

Transit Corridor (RTC) Extension Options PROs & CONs based on:

• Existing and Future Conditions
• City of Edmonton Transit Oriented Development Guidelines (2012)

A: Grand MacEwan Boulevard

Optimum catchment area for RTC, equidistant from the western city limit and the QEII Corridor. Existing development (single family residential dwellings along curvilinear cul-de-sac neighborhood street and backyards or side yards facing the corridor) does not support the ridership required. Significant redevelopment would be required to support increased transit ridership. Parking Management Plan would be required.

B: West periphery (Deer Valley, West Haven

and Suntree Estates)

Opportunities to develop compact mixed-use TOD at strategic locations. Amendments to ASP’s would be required for future developments to the east side of the corridor. Re-development along this alignment is very unlikely as these communities are relatively new. Parking management may be required.

C: Central (Integrated within NW 33, Crystal

Creek, Woodbend and SW28, NW21 communities)

The area is next to be developed. Limited opportunity to amend the existing ASP’s and outline plans. The RTC would serve the entire west community. Consistent with the conceptual landuse as presented in the Aerotropolis integrated land use compatibility plan. Opportunity to consider parki’n’ride stations to increase ridership.

D: 74 Street - PREFERRED -

These lands are currently underdeveloped. Opportunity to amend the existing MDP and ASPs to conform with and support the establishment of a future RPT. Planned urban uses on the west side of the corridor (County land). Urban/Rural interface remains to be determined. Current ASPs propose primary residential. Opportunities for significant intermunicipal planning and development coordination.

• 5. Multi-Way Pathway System

Multi-Way Path Lengths Primary Path: ~55km Secondary Path: ~8 km Nature Trail: ~1 km

• Primary Path: 3.0 m

wide, asphalt. Cleared of snow in winter.

• Secondary Path: 1.8 m

wide, asphalt or concrete.

• Nature Trail: Width

varies upon location and type, typically gravel.

destination.
