The Town of Whitecourt, Alberta is a dynamic, growing community, hosting a population of
approximately 15,000, including immediately adjacent county residents. Located 170km northeast of Edmonton on Highway 43 via Highway 16, the Town of Whitecourt is the largest urban centre between Edmonton and Grande Prairie. A Comprehensive Growth Study was completed for the Town of Whitecourt in 2022 to project the Town's growth over a 50-year horizon. This study forecasted land demand and provided
recommendations for suitable growth directions to accommodate the projected 50-year growth. To ensure that the local transportation infrastructure is planned efficiently and effectively to service the 50-year growth potential of the community, the Town of Whitecourt is looking to have an overall Transportation Master Plan completed. This Transportation Master Plan is expected to provide short, medium, and long term recommendations for improvements and additions to the Town's roadway network. It shall build upon previous transportation studies that have been completed for the Town of Whitecourt including but not limited to: 1991 Whitecourt Transportation Study which provided forecasts for future population horizons of 8,000 and 10,000; and
2008 update to the 1991 Transportation Study which refined the forecasts for a future
population of 10,000, and provided a forecast for a future population of 14,000. In addition to, or as part of, the Transportation Master Plan, there are also several key focus areas that the Town would like reviewed in further detail. These may include problematic junctions or road networks dealing with congestion, speed concerns, collisions, changes in traffic patterns, or other concerns. Some of these focus areas are described in further detail below, and may be added to or removed from the project as budget allows or as deemed necessary by the Town. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
