Traffic is a top priority for most Cochranites. Our community is intersected by two provincial highways, and it’s crucial these routes are well-maintained to support local traffic and the daily flow of goods, services and people.
Both Cochrane and the Province have made significant investments in building and upgrading roads and pathways. However, more investment is needed to address ongoing challenges.
