Join the conversation on St. Julien Road reconstruction

Do you walk up the road to the Tunnel Mountain trailhead? Do you walk, ride or drive to the Banff Centre? We want your viewpoints on St. Julien Road Reconstruction.

Our goal is to enhance safety for everyone and improve the connections and overall function of the road. The 2022 reconstruction will add a sidewalk the length of the road, reconfigure intersections, and new streetlights and replace aging underground water and sewer lines. But there are a number of design options being considered.

Visit banffviewpoints.ca/StJulien to learn about the project and provide input on options before April 4, 2021.

Help Prevent the Spread

The Banff and Lake Louise region has almost no active cases of COVID-19 currently and about 450 people have recovered from the virus. But we need to remain vigilant in guarding against the third wave, especially the new variants of concern. Help keep Banff safe in this final phase before the majority of our community is immunized.

For vaccine and testing info, visit banff.ca/COVIDhelp.
