The City of Leduc has experienced sustained growth.

  • Average annual growth over last decade has been 6-to-7% in all sectors.
  • 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); and
  • 220 units in 2016 (36% decrease).

CONCLUSION: The pace of development is slowing.

  • Energy sector decline has affected the pace of development, but provides the opportunity 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.
  • 2. We Are Growing!

The TMP will...

  • Function as an implementation tool that supports the overall Municipal Development Plan’s goals,
  • bjectives and high-level policies;
  • Examine various transportation corridors to ensure effective development of transportation

infrastructure to support Leduc’s future growth;

  • Establish roadway planning initiatives, provide for contingencies and establish targets for roadway

improvements; and

  • Guide and coordinate future urban growth decisions and infrastructure investment.

  • 6. Heavy Vehicle Routes
  • Heavy vehicle truck routes are

designated by the City of Leduc.

  • Heavy vehicles must follow the

route network within City limits.

  • Destinations that are not

directly on the route must be reached by taking the most direct and practical way from the nearest truck route.

  • With the advent of a 65th

Avenue crossing, the need for the 50th Street SB and 50th Avenue WB routes are to be examined.

  • Visum Transportation Demand Model is being developed.
  • 2016 base year traffic volumes are being simulated and

calibrated with current traffic counts.

  • 10. TMP Policy Statements

Environmental Sustainability The City should make provision for environmentally sustainable modes of transportation within a multi-modal transportation system, including high quality active transportation facilities and transit services. These are intended to provide a convenient and feasible alternative to the use of the private automobile, thus encouraging modal shift, with the increased use of these modes of transportation resulting in improved air quality, health benefits and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Economic Development The City should develop its transportation network to support development nodes and industrial areas, by ensuring efficient connections to a local multi-modal transportation system and a wider regional transportation system. The City should ensure that convenient access to/from places and events of interest in the region is provided by all modes (or combinations of modes) of transport. Existing Neighbourhoods The City’s planning policies should encourage a more compact form of development in existing neighbourhoods, which will lead to less of a requirement for new infrastructure to be provided, and more efficient utilization of infrastructure: for example, shorter average trip lengths can be more feasible by sustainable transportation modes.

  • Strategic Policy Statements are intended to be used as guidelines for municipal planning

and work in concert with the Municipal Development Plan Policy.

  • Sample draft policy statements are provided as examples below.
