The Southwest Strathcona Functional Planning Study was presented to Council on October 17, 2023.
This document will be used to guide future development in the area and includes projected traffic volumes for the next 20 to 30 years. The study will be updated, when required, based on changes to engineering standards, land use or highway access.
As growth continues in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, there may be an increase in traffic on the Township and Range roads within southwest Strathcona County over the next 20 to 30 years. These roads may need improvements as urban development occurs.Â
The study area is bounded on the west side by Range Road 234, on the south by Township Road 510, on the north by Highway 14 and on the east by Highway 21.  Together with Alberta Transportation, the City of Edmonton and the County of Leduc, the study will determine long-term transportation needs, including number of lanes, road grades, rail crossing realignments, intersections and other road characteristics.

The study will determine what road upgrades will be required over the next 30 years, to support future traffic volumes.
The study will look at long-term transportation needs including number of lanes, road grades, intersections and other road characteristics.
Highways 14 and 21 are within Alberta Transportation’s jurisdiction and are not part of this study. Strathcona County owns and operates the service roads adjacent to the highways, and these service roads will be considered throughout the study.
At this time, there are no anticipated changes to speed limits within the study area. This will be reviewed as part of the study.
Timing of construction is to be determined through the study, however no substantial work is anticipated for five or more years.
