Speed Zones & Speed Radar Sign

The Town of Coalhurst would like to remind residents that the Town’s reduced speed zones, of
30 km/h, are playground zones not school zones.  Part 3 – Speed Limits – Section 3.2.2 of the Town of Coalhurst Traffic Bylaw No. 398-18 states:  Pursuant to provisions of the Traffic Safety Act, R.S.A. 2000, C.T-6, the prescribed hours during which a playground zone is in effect in the Town is the period beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 9:00 p.m. daily.  This is every day, all year round.

As residents may have noticed, the Town has a speed radar sign that has been posted, for a duration of time, at different locations around Town.  Data, such as speed, date and time, is collected from the speed radar sign and trends can then be determined.  The information will then be submitted to the RCMP so they may become of aware of the problem areas in Town that need to be monitored and enforced.

For everyone’s safety, please be aware and abide by the speed limits throughout Town.

Snow Removal Reminder

The Town of Coalhurst would like to remind its residents that Bylaw No. 398-18, Part 19 requires
property owners to maintain their sidewalks, including snow and ice removal.

The Town strongly recommends that residents do their best to clear their sidewalks of snow and ice in a timely manner (48 HOURS) in order to avoid any potential liability for injuries that might occur to members of the public. The Town would also encourage residents to help neighbors in need, especially seniors, with snow removal this winter. Take a few extra minutes when shoveling your own sidewalk to shovel a neighbor’s sidewalks and to keep them clear, ice-free and safe.

In respect of your neighbors and the overall quality of life in this great Town of Coalhurst please do your part in providing safe walking paths for our citizens this winter, thank you in advance.

Notice of Traffic Disruptions

Construction of the intersection upgrades at Highway 25 and Township Road 9-2 has begun as of September 16th, to be completed in late October of this year (2019). The worksite will be active from Monday to Saturday during daylight hours.

Major work items for the intersection upgrades include excavation, grading and paving. During these phases, various traffic accommodation measures including lane closures and intermittent delays will be required, resulting in a disruption of traffic flow along Highway 25 and Township Road 9-2.

Drivers are encouraged to consider alternative routes to limit interaction with the active worksite throughout the course of construction. If an alternative route is not available to you, please exercise caution and remember to reduce your traveling speed through the construction zone for your, and the workers safety. We kindly remind you that Lethbridge Police Service has been, and will remain active within the work area to enforce the construction zone speed limit during work hours.

Once completed, the intersection of Highway 25 and Township Road 9-2 will provide an increased level of service to all users including the addition of acceleration and by-pass lanes to facilitate turning movements and intersection illumination.

We appreciate your patience and understanding on the matter, and look forward to the completion of the project in a timely manner.

Section of 6th Street Closed

As of August 20, 2019 at 8:00 am, the section of 6th Street between 53rd and 55th Avenue will be closed for approximately 1 week for utility work. Please adjust accordingly. Thank you.

Town Branding Contest Begins

Town Branding Contest

Who knows Coalhurst better than its very own residents!
The Town wants your best ideas for a new Town Brand! Residents of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to combine past, present, and future elements of Coalhurst into a new logo and slogan. Brainstorm ideas with neighbors, family, or friends, then get creative and draft a logo and slogan and send it into the Town Office. If your idea gets chosen, you could win up to $1000, plus leave a lasting impression on the Town’s history!

Contest Details
Starting immediately, residents can drop off their entry forms at the Town Office or scan/email them to [email protected] You must be a resident of Coalhurst to be eligible. Administration will compile the entries and Council will choose a winner. Hand drawn or digital designs are both welcomed. The winning slogan and logo will then be taken to a graphic designer to be transformed into a polished, professional, final product.

Logo and Slogan Requirements
Logos should be clear, meaningful, and able to be easily scaled and printed on various types and sizes of mediums including stationary, fabrics, equipment, digital, etc. Slogans should be less than 10 words and help convey the feeling of the Town in a catchy, memorable manner. The logo and slogan should complement each other in their feel and design. Logos and slogans will be reviewed both as a combo as well as separately. Potentially, a slogan from one individual may be selected and not their logo, and vice versa. In this case, $700 will be given to one individual with the selected logo and $300 to the other individual with the selected slogan. If no suitable entries are submitted during the contest, the Town may choose to look at outside sources instead.

Final date for entries is September 30, 2019.

Submissions or questions should be emailed to [email protected]
