Work on or near a Strathcona County road requires a Right-of-Way Construction Activity Permit (ROWCAP).  

Activities such as bicycle races, parades and charity ride events on County roads also require a ROWCAP. 

Requirements for ROWCAP applicants 

Before submitting a ROWCAP application, please ensure that any other required permits and approvals (33.3 KB) have been obtained. 

Work that requires temporary traffic control must also include a temporary traffic control plan (traffic accommodation strategy) prepared by the applicant or prime contractor. 

ROWCAP applications may be submitted 5 business days prior to the start date of the planned activity. Applications may take up to 10 business days to process. This is to determine and consider the effect that the work may have on other planned right-of-way activities, solid waste collection, transit routes, Emergency Services, Enforcement Services and other public and private entities.
