Many new construction and infrastructure projects are underway, including the completion of multi-phased projects started in previous years and the planning of new multi-phased projects that will enhance the Town’s roadways, utilities, buildings, and recreational parks and facilities. Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.

Phase 3 of the project will urbanize the west side of Northridge Drive from Sandstone Gate to D’Arcy Boulevard (click button below to see project location). This project will build the ultimate southbound road cross section of Northridge Drive which includes the construction an additional travel lane, stormwater infrastructure, pathway, additional crosswalk, median and boulevard landscaping. This project will support the current and upcoming phases of development in D’Arcy by providing key active transportation and stormwater infrastructure. Approximate construction timeline (weather permitting): May-June, 2024   Â
Phase 4 of the project will urbanize the west side of Northridge Drive from D’Arcy Boulevard to D’Arcy Ranch Drive (click button below to see project location). The scope of this project includes construction of a pathway on the west side of Northridge Drive, stormwater infrastructure, removal of the existing layby area, and landscaping in the median and boulevard. This project will support the current and upcoming phases of the D’Arcy subdivision, including the commercial development, by providing key active transportation and stormwater infrastructure. Approximate construction timeline (weather permitting): May-June, 2024Â

Spring/Summer 2024
Landscaping and retaining wall work will continue along Northridge Drive (see images below) over the next several weeks, weather permitting. The construction, starting the week of May 13, will be done between non-peak hours (9am-3pm) and is expected to be complete by the end of June. Expect single lane closures heading northbound and traffic delays. Please watch for signage, crews and equipment and use caution in the area. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. 
The Town's Transportation Master Plan identified 338 Avenue between Northridge Drive and Highway 2 will eventually require widening to four lanes. This project will prepare the functional study of 338 Avenue from Northridge Drive to Highway 2 (see image below). It will further develop into a detailed concept design for 338 Avenue from Northridge Drive to 32 Street to support land development between Northridge Drive and 32 Street currently in process.
Developing these concept designs will provide critical information to the adjacent land developers for their design process. Understanding the long-term vision for 338 Avenue will also ensure that interim designs minimize throwaway costs and that new infrastructure is installed in appropriate locations.
The study has been completed. The purpose was to develop and deliver a functional plan for an upgraded roadway corridor along 338 Avenue in the Town of Okotoks, between Highway 2 and Northridge Drive (Highway 2A), that balances the emerging and future roles of this road within the 2025 - 2045 timeframe.Â
The functional plan is required to refine the ultimate road cross-section of 338 Avenue including the intersecting roads, as well as considering the active transportation and emerging mobility trends. Furthermore, a potential transition in the ultimate road cross-section from west to east, to align with the changes in adjacent land development from residential to commercial industrial, was reviewed in further detail and confirmed as part of the study.
The Functional Design has been developed based on the proposed adjacent land uses, forecast travel demands, and a multimodal vision for the corridor and its cross streets. The number and configuration of intersections were evaluated as options to help the Town select the most appropriate long-term design for 338 Avenue.

Restoration includes hydroseeding of new grass seed on and around your property in addition to any broadcasted grass seed you may have already seen mixed into the loam. Hydroseed is a resilient mixture of mulch and seed; rain will help it establish and grow, but if you would like to water the area, that can aid the grass growth.
See below for images showing before seeing, during growth, and established hydroseeded grass.
