Road, Sidewalks, Lanes

Road Maintenance

Each season brings different responsibilities for our Operations team. From snow removal to pothole patching, we work year-round to maintain safe and accessible roads, sidewalks, and lanes.

During any roadwork, please watch for temporary no-parking signs and traffic interruption notices. To stay informed, sign up for alerts through the Westlock Regional Notification System: Connect.

Sidewalk Maintenance

Safe and accessible sidewalks support walkability and mobility throughout Westlock.

The Town is responsible for maintaining sidewalks on public property, including:

• Trip hazard repairs (grinding or replacement)
• Major cracks or uplift caused by infrastructure or tree roots
• Seasonal inspections and priority repairs

Lane (Alley) Maintenance

Gravel lanes provide important access to garages, garbage pickup points, and utility infrastructure.

The Town maintains gravel lanes through:

• Annual grading to reduce ruts and potholes
• Spot repairs as needed throughout the year
• Vegetation management to keep lanes clear

Please note: Lanes are for access only. Parking in back lanes can obstruct service vehicles and is discouraged.

Residents can help by:

• Keeping personal property out of the lanes
• Reporting major damage or drainage concerns through Report a Concern

Streetlights & Power Boxes

FortisAlberta owns and maintains all streetlights and power boxes in Westlock.

To report a burnt-out streetlight or damaged power box:

• Call 310-WIRE (310-9473)
• Or submit a request online

Fortis will dispatch a Power Line Technician for the repair.
