The City of Leduc has experienced sustained growth.
• Average annual growth over last decade has been 6-to-7% in all sectors.
• Approximate number of residential permits:• 460 units in 2012; • 500 units in 2013 (10% increase);• 640 units in 2014 (26% increase);• 350 units in 2015 (45% decrease); and• 220 units in 2016 (36% decrease).CONCLUSION: The pace of development is slowing.
• Energy sector decline has affected the pace of development, but provides the opportunity to: • Update, develop & refine the City’s TMP;• Develop a proactive approach to the internal transportation planning process; and• Guide infrastructure objectives of the municipality.
2. We Are Growing!
The TMP will...
• Function as an implementation tool that supports the overall Municipal Development Plan’s goals, objectives and high-level policies;
• Examine various transportation corridors to ensure effective development of transportation infrastructure to support Leduc’s future growth;
• Establish roadway planning initiatives, provide for contingencies and establish targets for roadway improvements; and
• Guide and coordinate future urban growth decisions and infrastructure investment.

• Heavy vehicle truck routes are designated by the City of Leduc.
• Heavy vehicles must follow the route network within City limits.
• Destinations that are not directly on the route must be reached by taking the most direct and practical way from the nearest truck route.
• With the advent of a 65th
Avenue crossing, the need for the 50th Street SB and 50th
Avenue WB routes are to be examined.

7. Transportation Modeling
• Visum Transportation Demand Model is being developed.
• 2016 base year traffic volumes are being simulated and calibrated with current traffic counts.
• Work has been undertaken with the City of Leduc, Leduc County and the City of Edmonton to prepare land use estimates for the 2025, 2035 and 2044 future horizon years.
Visum Zone System
• Travel demand forecasts are being produced for each horizon year using residential dwellings/population and employment estimates.

10. TMP Policy Statements
Environmental Sustainability
The City should make provision for environmentally sustainable modes of transportation within a
multi-modal transportation system, including high quality active transportation facilities
and transit services. These are intended to provide a
convenient and feasible alternative to the use of the
private automobile, thus encouraging modal shift, with
the increased use of these modes of transportation
resulting in improved air quality, health benefits and reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Development
The City should develop its transportation network to
support development nodes and industrial areas, by
ensuring efficient connections to a local multi-modal
transportation system and a wider regional transportation
system.
The City should ensure that convenient access to/from
places and events of interest in the region is provided by all modes (or combinations of
modes) of transport.
Existing Neighbourhoods
The City’s planning policies should encourage a more
compact form of development in existing neighbourhoods, which will lead to less of a
requirement for new infrastructure to be provided,
and more efficient utilization of infrastructure: for example,
shorter average trip lengths can be more feasible by sustainable
transportation modes.
• Strategic Policy Statements are intended to be used as guidelines for municipal planning and work in concert with the Municipal Development Plan Policy.
• Sample draft policy statements are provided as examples below.
