Background

Council initially approved the project with a set budget for improvements along Glenpatrick Drive and a temporary solution at the three-way intersection. In July 2023, the project was deferred for a year to address audit findings and develop a comprehensive plan. The redesign, completed in 2024, expanded the project’s scope to include a full infrastructure replacement and permanent road enhancements.

How does this project benefit the community?

  • Replaces aging water, storm, and sanitary systems, reducing maintenance and disruptions.
  • Enhances community safety with road upgrades and traffic calming measures.
  • Provides safer walking routes with new pedestrian surfaces.
  • Upgrades stormwater systems to reduce flooding risks.
  • Improves traffic flow to reduce congestion in busy areas.

Strategic Alignment

This project supports Council's commitment to livability, connectivity and vibrant economy and will build on the foundations of financial and environmental stewardship and built environment. This project aligns with the Town's broader planning goals as outlined in the Connecting Cochrane document, supporting community growth and development while ensuring infrastructure is resilient and will serve our community into the future.
