Highlights of the report included the following: • The RMA recently conducted a member survey that identified that more than $81 million in property taxes from oil and gas companies have gone unpaid. While our membership is very supportive of the industry the lack of tax payments has become a major concern and there remains no good recourse to collecting from bankrupt oil and gas companies. • Last Tuesday night Starland County met with Stettler County, Special Areas and Paintearth County to discuss issues of common interest to this area. Major topics included tax recovery, volunteer fire departments and gravel hauling. • The demolition of our old Administration Office has finally commenced and the remaining portion of the building standing has been completely torn down.

  • Priority Intersection This Fact Sheet Provides Guidance and Information Regarding Priority Intersections (Those Controlled by a Give Way Or Stop Sign)
    FACT SHEET FACT 7 Intersection Form – Priority Intersection This fact sheet provides guidance and information regarding priority intersections (those controlled by a give way or stop sign). Pros Cons • Low cost • Can be poor for cyclist and pedestrian safety • Low space requirements • On busy roads, pedestrian delays for crossing the road • No delays for major road through traffic may be excessive • When volumes on main road are high, can result in excessive delays and poorer safety outcomes for side road traffic Best Practice Considerations: • Crossing distances for pedestrians should be minimised • If cycle lanes are provided between blocks, these should be marked across the intersections • Where cycle lanes are provided on the major leg, the minor leg should be controlled by a give way or stop • Sight distances can dictate whether the intersection is uncontrolled, a give way or a stop • Some traffic turning movements can be banned to improve safety Basic A basic priority intersection treatment is where no right turning facilities are provided on the main road. In these layouts, turning traffic on the main road briefly blocks through traffic. These intersections are low cost due to the limited space required but can create safety issues if the traffic flows are heavy. Appropriate Locations • Intersections where the traffic volumes on the side road(s) are low • Low volume of right turning vehicles on the main road Limitations • Right turning vehicles on the main road impede through traffic • Vehicles turning out of the side street must find gaps in both directions of traffic. No turning bay Local examples: Roberts Street / Titiraupenga Street Flush Median A flush median is a painted area between traffic lanes which motorists can take refuge in while waiting to turn in/out of side roads or local accessways and where pedestrians can wait to cross the road.

  • Roads to Yukon Resources Feds, Territory Commit C$360 Million to Modernize Yukon Mining Roads
    Providing coverage of Alaska and Northwest Canada's mineral industry September 2017 Vol. 22, No. 37 Week of September 10, 2017 Mining News: Roads to Yukon resources Feds, territory commit C$360 million to modernize Yukon mining roads Shane Lasley Mining News Roads to some of Yukon’s richest mining districts are getting more than C$360 million in upgrades. Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rolled out the plans to invest in modern transportation infrastructure during a visit to the territory on Sep. 2. “Modern infrastructure is key to developing and properly managing the incredible natural resources we have at our fingertips,” Trudeau said. The prime minister pledged C$247.8 million to the Yukon Resource Gateway project, a program that will upgrade more than 650 kilometers of roads in the territory, and build or replace numerous bridges, culverts, and stream crossings in two minerals-rich regions of the Yukon. “The Resource Gateway is one of the most significant projects ever undertaken in this territory and will have an incredibly positive impact on the Yukon economy,” said Yukon Premier Sandy Silver. Following the development of project agreements with First Nations in regions of the proposed road upgrades, as well as the precursor environmental and socio-economic reviews, the Yukon will contribute up to C$112.8 million to the road project. “First Nation agreement is essential to the continuation of the project and we look forward to working in partnership with them on this milestone development,” Silver added. This unprecedented road improvement project will boost the mine projects nearing development and add extra fuel to the excitement for mineral exploration in Canada’s westernmost territory.
