RED DEER COUNTY NEWS OFFICIAL NEWS FROM RED DEER COUNTY CENTRE JULY 2015 CONSERVATION IN AcTION COUNTY HELPS LANDOWNERS CONSERVE 70 ACRES By Ken Lewis, Conservation Coordinator On June 24, 2015, Red Deer County viewed three new conservation projects: a riparian management fence, a watering system to help conserve wetlands, and a watering system to help conserve a creek. For local landowners like Audrey Daines, wetlands have always been an important feature in providing clean water and a healthy landscape. By fencing off their wetland, it will remain a vital place for local wildlife and ground water. Henrik and Jeralyn Rasmussen rent the pasture where they installed their portable watering system. They made sure to purchase enough waterline and wiring, so that they can move the system around to WHAT’S INSIDE: multiple paddocks and water sources as part of their grazing rotation. The creek that Conservation Partners is helping conserve with an off-site watering system is part of the Transit Use on the Rise...........Pg. 2 Waskasoo Creek watershed, which flows right through the City of Red Deer before joining the Red Deer River. So, the connections between these pastures and the perceptions that the general public has about Air Quality Response Plan ....Pg. 8 agriculture in Red Deer County are very direct. Home Safety Quiz ................Pg. 20 These three new projects are just three of the 33 plus projects that Red Deer County landowners have done or are planning to do this year with funding support from Conservation Partners and/or the Alternative Land Use Services program.

The results of a study by the City of Red Deer show that conventional transit (excluding the Action Bus) have increased by a whopping 78% since its inception in 2010. It was in 2010 when Red Deer County Council partnered with the City of Red Deer on providing service to Gasoline Alley and Springbrook. The result of the partnership was a 20 year agreement between the two municipalities. Under the agreement, the City of Red Deer operates the service and maintains the busses. Red Deer County is responsible for operational costs and capital purchases. Red Deer County Transit is on a fixed route service that includes the East and West sides of Gasoline Alley as well as Springbrook. Service is considered “seamless,” with Red Deer County Transit users paying the same fare as City users. Service is seen as an additional route to the Red Deer City Transit Services. According to the study, with increased commercial and potential residential expansion in Gasoline Alley, the numbers are anticipated to increase. In 2016, County staff are proposing to add service on Statutory holidays. This means that users (many who work in Gasoline Alley) are still able to get to their jobs etc. during those times. SCHEDULE • Gasoline Alley: Monday - Saturday: 6:30 AM to 9:15 AM (60 min service) o Monday - Saturday: 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM (30 min service) o Monday - Saturday: 3:00 PM to 6:45 PM (60 min service) o Monday - Saturday: 7:00 PM to 10:55 PM (30 min service) o Sunday 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM (60 min service) o Sunday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (30 min service) o Sunday 3:00 PM to 4:45 PM (60 min service) o • Springbrook: Monday - Saturday: 6:30 AM to 9:15 AM (60 min service) o Monday - Saturday: 3:00 PM to 6:45 PM (60 min service) o Sunday: 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM (60 min service) o Sunday: 3:00 PM to 4:45 PM (60 min service) o ROUTE 12A: GASOLINE ALLEY/SPRINGBROOK ACTION BUS The Action Bus is a specialized transit service operated by City of Red Deer. It is specifically for individuals with special mobility needs. All Action Bus passengers must apply and register for this service, as there are special pick up and drop off requirements associated with the service. Action Bus ridership averages approximately 2,000 passengers per month. The service provides much needed independence for those who are unable to drive or take regular forms of transit.
