  • Town of Devon River Valley Trail Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    Town of Devon River Valley Trail Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) When did the planning for this trail project start? In 1990, The Ribbon of Green Master Plan was published by the City of Edmonton. This award winning, visionary report outlined the goal of a linear park and trail system along the North Saskatchewan River, from Fort Saskatchewan through Edmonton. In 1996, this plan was extended to Devon with the creation of the River Valley Alliance. Since then, the River Valley Alliance and the communities along the length of the extended “Ribbon of Green” have been working together to develop this linear park and associated trails. In 2014, the Town of Devon Council approved moving forward with the preliminary and detailed design of the trails along the river valley adjacent to Devon, followed by construction in 2015 and 2016. What is the River Valley Alliance?1 The River Valley Alliance (RVA) was formed in 1996 by the seven municipalities bordering the Capital Region’s North Saskatchewan River: Town of Devon, Parkland County, Leduc County, City of Edmonton, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County and City of Fort Saskatchewan. The River Valley Alliance has a compelling goal – to preserve, protect and enhance the river valley – to create one of the largest river valley parks in the world, and to create a legacy for generations to come. The RVA goal is to connect the many parks, trails and other green spaces along the capital region into one continuous publicly-accessible park. When complete, it will be the longest metropolitan park in North America at 88 km and one of the largest at 18,000 acres.
