It’s harvest season in Lacombe County, and work is in full swing. Lacombe County reminds those travelling on local roads keep safety at the forefront during fall harvest operations, whether you’re driving a van, combine or semi-truck.

Road Safety

Road safety is a big concern during harvest season. After a long break due to the COVID-19 health crisis, roads will be busy with harvest operations coinciding with increased numbers of busses and commuters who are returning to regular schedules with the start of the school year. Since starting this campaign in 2014, we have heard stories from both producers and drivers alike of unsafe driving during harvest season.

Landscapes and landscaping features are important because they contribute significantly to our well-being and quality of life by integrating the built environment with the natural environment. Well-designed landscaping, whether it be in private yards, businesses, or new multi-lot developments, all contribute to Lacombe County’s physical form and natural environment, building healthy habitat for people, plants, and animals.

It was an identified action of the 2019 review of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB) to redesign the old Guide to Suitable Species into a more holistic landscaping guide. The new Guide to Landscaping was endorsed by Council on September 10, 2020.

Alberta Transportation is completing work on Highway 12, west of Bentley between Highway 20 and Highway 766. Work begins on September 8, and is expected to run until October 15, 2020 (weather permitting). 

Please drive with caution in this area, and obey all construction signs.
