It is harvest season and your rural neighbours are hard at work!

You may see more farm equipment on County roads. Please have patience and use caution when approaching and passing slow moving vehicles.

Remember to slow down and make sure the equipment operator sees you. They will move to the side of the road when they can, giving you the chance to pass safely.

RAINFALL UPDATE: JUNE 14

Although we continue to experience significant rainfall, the Cochrane area has been downgraded to a flood watch from a flood warning. We are continuing to actively monitor the rainfall impacts within Cochrane and crews are responding as required.

Residents may notice water accumulation on Glenbow Drive. Please note that this is not an area of concern, as the water accumulation on the roadway is flowing as intended.

Cochrane Fire Services crews are out on the Bow River today participating in a pre-planned water rescue training exercise.

Residents are asked to continue to stay away from riverbanks and low-lying areas where the river can submerge pathways.

Please consider the following precautions:
- If you have a sump pump or backflow valve, ensure it’s working
- Check your swale for debris or blockages
- Clean out downspouts and ensure they are pointed away from your foundation
- Concerns with localized flooding or trap lows? Contact [email protected] or 403.851.2590
- Live in a new community still under developer control? Contact the developer directly about any local flooding concerns

INTERSECTION REALIGNMENT: CENTRE AVE
A number of questions have come in asking what is going on with the lanes on Centre Ave.

To accommodate the new 7-lane wide intersection, all HWY 1A lanes will eventually be shifted north.
Future eastbound lanes will be where the existing westbound lanes are now.
New islands for the signal posts are being constructed within the existing eastbound lanes.

If you are curious what the end product will look like, please follow the link below to our before/after swipe tool:

Speed Limit Adjustment: HWY 1A ‘Big Hill’
In coming days, motorists should anticipate a speed reduction for traffic travelling west on the big hill.
From the top of the down-grade to the end of the first curve the speed will be reduced from 80km/h to 60km/h. The remainder will be reduced further to 50km/h.
These speed limit changes reflect our commitment to ensuring the safety of both motorists as well as crews working on site.
Speed limits will be signed and will remain in place until construction of the HWY 1A improvements project is complete.
