From June 2023 until the fall of 2026, the County will be improving accessibility for transit riders by building concrete bus pads at various bus stop locations in Sherwood Park.
Nearly 200 bus stops will be updated to a smooth concrete pad. This year's construction is estimated to begin in early to mid-May.
Parking may be affected during construction.
Shelters and benches will be temporarily removed from these construction zones. They will be replaced once construction is complete.
When catching a bus at an affected stop, please stand where the bus can see you as it approaches. Wave at the Operator when the bus approaches. This helps the operator know you want to hop-on.
The County will do its best to avoid impacting individual properties, wherever possible.
The main reason for this project is to improve access to transit. Accessible stops are important to a thriving and safe transit system for all users. To be truly accessible, bus pads must:
Some bus stops already meet appropriate standards. Many do not, with only a pole in the ground or a sign attached to a streetlamp or utility pole.
Strathcona County is appreciative of the federal Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) funding to assist with the important work to provide accessible bus stops.
