Plan addresses future growth and development as well as current needs. 

On behalf of Lethbridge City Council, I want to thank Lethbridge-West MLA Shannon Phillips for her dedicated public service to our community and to our province.

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a patio fire on the ninth floor of an apartment building at Berkeley Place West at approximately 5:22 a.m. on Sunday, June 9.

Construction is about to wrap up on 7 Street South from 4 Avenue to 7 Avenue, thus fully connecting the bike lanes in Downtown Lethbridge to the 7 Avenue bike boulevard and the city-wide cycling network. The work, all weather dependent, will take place from June 10-14. Full road closures are not anticipated, however, there will be lane reductions, short duration turning bay closures and a temporary loss of parking in some areas.

Crews were busy this week with pothole patching on Whoop-Up Drive. Next week, our ongoing Transportation Operations’ work will involve bridge maintenance. From June 10-12 (4 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day), bridge maintenance work will impact westbound lanes on Whoop-Up Drive. On June 13 and 14 (4 a.m. to 7 a.m. each day), work will shift to eastbound lanes.

As City crews and contractors are working on the annual road and infrastructure maintenance around Lethbridge, the City is encouraging residents to stay up-to-date with summer construction in just one click.

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban has been placed on all open fires in the City’s River Valley.

Bridge maintenance will impact traffic on the University Drive West bridge, crossing over Whoop Up Drive West.

Residents and visitors can wet their whistles around the city once again this summer as the City’s public drinking stations have returned. The water outlets are in Nicholas Sheran Park, Legacy Park, Henderson Lake Park and in Galt Gardens downtown.
