City of Red Deer
Busy Red Deer roads to be resurfaced throughout July
Micro-surfacing to begin on Taylor Drive, 55 Street, Ross Street and Spruce Drive
Intermittent lane closures will occur as crews will begin line marking removal. Pre-treatment work and micro-surfacing will begin shortly after and will require rolling intersection closures at the various cross streets. Traffic delays are to be expected.
Work on Taylor Drive is expected to occur primarily on weekends with the other streets to be done on weekdays. This year’s micro-surfacing program is expected to take two to three weeks to complete.
Micro-surfacing is a road preservation treatment used to extend the life of a pavement anywhere from five to eight years, depending on the current condition of the pavement surface. Micro-surfacing provides a thin wearing surface on top of the existing asphalt that city roads are paved with. Micro-surfacing is installed quicker and is ready to drive on faster than traditional hot-mix asphalt.
Motorists will notice a rougher surface texture on a micro-surfaced road. This feature improves skid-resistance, but also tends to be noisier. Visit www.reddeer.ca/micro to learn more about micro-surfacing.
Drivers are encouraged to take alternate routes where possible and reminded to slow down when driving in construction zones and obey all signs. Pedestrians are reminded to cross only at designated crosswalks.
All road construction is weather dependent, and schedules may be subject to change. For information about road construction and closures visit www.reddeer.ca/roadclosures. Any impacts to transit routes are posted on the City website as construction nears and can be viewed at www.reddeer.ca/transitdisruptions.
The following streets are scheduled for micro-surfacing this year:
- Taylor Drive northbound from 77 Street to Kerry Wood Drive
- Taylor Drive southbound from 77 Street to Oleander Drive
- 55 Street from 42 Avenue to 55 Street Bridge
- Ross (50) Street from 46 Avenue to 41 Avenue
- Spruce Drive from 43 Street to 32 Street

News release from the City of Red Deer
Voters are encouraged to plan their vote and allow a little extra time at the polls this Election Day, Monday, October 20.
Because this year’s election uses Alberta’s new Permanent Elector Registry, voting may take slightly longer than in previous years. Municipalities are required to provide updated voter information back to the province after the election. As a result, many voters will be asked to complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13) at the voting station — even if they are already registered to vote. This ensures that voter information is accurate and up to date. Once the registry information has been updated, all forms are securely shredded.
Additionally, the Permanent Elector Registry is not shared with local school boards, so anyone voting for a School Board Trustee must also complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13).
We appreciate voters’ patience as our election teams work to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot accurately and securely. Once the voting process begins, most voters complete their vote in about 10 minutes.
To help avoid lineups, voters can visit Red Deer Elections website to check real-time wait times at each voting station and choose the location with the shortest line.
Anyone who arrives at a polling station and joins a line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote.
Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make your voice heard in Red Deer’s 2025 Municipal and School Board Election.
