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.

To report issues on Highways 44 and 18, contact LaPrairie Works at 1-800-828-3908.

While the Town of Westlock maintains most roads within town limits, Highway 18 and Highway 44 are managed by LaPrairie Works, under contract with the Province of Alberta.
