High Country Drive NW Corridor Study

High Country Drive (HCD) is a key east-west corridor serving the northwest quadrant of High River. In response to concerns raised by residents, Council has initiated a study to better understand community ideas and opportunities for High Country Drive for people who drive, walk, bike and roll. The High Country Drive study area extends from Longview Trail NW to Centre Street N/Highway 2A.

The Town has prepared a What We Heard Report from the second round of engagement. The report includes design options and recommendations that will be presented to Council.

Engagement Results

• Phase 1: What We Heard Report
• Phase 2: What We Heard Report (will be shared with Council and then posted on this webpage)

Developing Options and Final Recommendations

Many considerations need to be accounted for when developing the design options and finalizing recommendations for a corridor study. Community feedback, Town policies and plans, cost, best practices, and technical requirements all inform the proposed design options and the Town’s final recommendations.
