ALWAYS BETTER – ALWAYS BETTER READ
It’s been a successful summer for roadway improvements in Camrose. Despite above average rainfall and the inevitable challenges which accompany replacing sidewalks and laying down asphalt when it’s fiercely hot and muggy, a full two-thirds of the scheduled street and avenue improvements have already been achieved for the season. This year, much of the work has been away from the City’s major traffic arteries. A key project, likely to wrap up within four weeks, is the replacing of all underground services on 46 Street, south of École Charlie Killam School. Two higher visibility major upgrading projects remain to be finalized before freeze-up. Work will soon begin on 48 Avenue, west of Grand Drive over to 66 Street, including the service road which is in front of both Camrose Police Service and the RCMP station. This work may prove to be a temporary traffic disruption and patience is appreciated. Repaving 66 Street from 48 Avenue to 50 Avenue (near the Camrose Golf Course) is also on the fall work calendar and will include new sidewalks along the west side of the roadway (48 Avenue to 50 Avenue) to improve walkability. All roadwork completed this year was funded by the $3 million road program budget approved by Camrose Council for the replacement of sidewalks and repaving.
