The Town of Okotoks received more than $5 million from the Government of Alberta through the Local Growth and Sustainability Grant (LGSG) to fund essential deep utility and road infrastructure.

Improvements are planned for the Riverside Drive, Daggett Street and South Railway Street areas, primarily between Northridge Drive and Lineham Avenue, as shown in the images below. Additional work will include replacing sanitary sewer lines on South Railway Street between Lineham and Oak Avenues. Preliminary work will start in 2025 and all construction will finish before the end of 2027.

The Town will actively hold one-on-one conversations with directly impacted businesses and residents, while also sharing project information widely with the broader community.

Phase 1 construction is expected to begin before September 30, 2025, in alignment with grant requirements and will include:

• Upgrading of buried utility infrastructure on Riverside Drive (east of Northridge Drive)
• Overhead power improvements Riverside Drive between Northridge Drive and the Arts and Learning Campus (ALC)
• Work may include installation of a new buried utility crossing at the CPKC tracks at Lineham Avenue but timing is subject to approvals and potential rescheduling to a future date.

Note that the above maps are approximate, preliminary & provided only to indicate the overall project intent. The various areas/improvements identified are subject to change as the design progresses.
