Use of Undeveloped Road Allowances

Road closures in Alberta are regulated under Division 2 of the Municipal Government Act. In particular, road closures must follow procedures provided in Section 22 of the Act:

  1. No road in a municipality that is subject to the direction, control and management of the municipality may be closed except by bylaw.
  2. A bylaw closing a road must be advertised.
  3. A bylaw closing a road made by the council of a municipality that is not a city has no effect unless it is approved by the Minister of Infrastructure before the bylaw receives second reading.
  4. Before passing a bylaw closing a road, a person who claims to be affected prejudicially by the bylaw or that person’s agent must be given an opportunity to be heard by the council.
