Traffic changes in Cabin Creek west and some alleys

Starting April 8, 2026, Cabin Creek Drive will operate as a one-way street to help manage construction traffic and improve safety in the area.

In addition, some nearby streets and alleys will be designated as “construction access only”.

Please refer to the below Cabin Creek map for details on:
  • One-way traffic direction on Cabin Creek Drive
  • Designated resident only parking
  • Areas restricted to construction access only
Important to know:
  • Residents living adjacent to closed alleys and Cabin Creek Drive have been contacted directly and will continue to have access to their properties
  • Clear signage will be in place throughout the area
  • These changes are enforceable under municipal bylaws and the Traffic Safety Act with local law enforcement supporting compliance
These measures are in place to improve safety, reduce congestion, and support efficient rebuilding in one of Jasper’s most active construction areas.

We understand that these changes may be challenging, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding as the community continues to rebuild.

Stay up to date on road/alley closures, check the Municipality of Jasper Road Closures Map.


New Municipal Licences and Permits Web Page

We have made it easier to find information about all licences and permits on the Municipality’s website. A new Licences and Permits page can be found under Town Services: https://www.jasper-alberta.ca/p/licences-and-permi...


The SPSU permit page now falls under Licences and Permits and will be updated shortly. All current information is still valid and no processes will change.

A reminder on site clean-up & waste management

As we work together to rebuild our community, we want to ensure all sites remain safe, compliant, and respectful of neighboring properties. Please remember that the Preapproved Routine Impact Assessment (PRIA) conditions are a requirement of every permit.

To keep the momentum going and avoid any project delays or compliance issues, please review these key waste management requirements:

Wildlife & General Tidiness
  • Secure Attractants: All food waste and wildlife attractants must be stored in wildlife-proof containers or secured buildings/vehicles. Food waste must be removed daily.
  • Site Maintenance: Keep your site and the immediate adjacent areas free of excess debris and garbage.

Sorting & Disposal
We are committed to a sustainable rebuild. Please ensure your crews are source-separating materials:
  • Recycle First: Cardboard, clean wood, metal, glass, and concrete should be diverted to the Jasper Waste Transfer Station or licensed facilities.
  • Landfill Bound: Unsorted waste (drywall, treated wood, asphalt shingles, etc.) must be taken to a licensed landfill outside the Park.

Hazardous Materials & Ethics
  • Hazardous Waste: Materials like asbestos, lead paint, and contaminated soil must be classified and disposed of at licensed facilities.
  • Respect Your Neighbors: Dumping waste in other contractors' bins or on unauthorized properties is not permitted.
Thank you for doing your part to keep Jasper clean and safe as we build back stronger!


Equipment operation

Heavy equipment operating on paved surfaces should be equipped with street pads; damage to paved surfaces must be restored to original conditions.

Equipment must be properly tuned, clean and free of contaminants, in good operating order, free of leaks (e.g., fuel, oil or grease), and fitted with standard air emission control devices and spark arrestors prior to arrival on site.

Equipment parked overnight or not in use for more than 30 minutes will be stored on impervious surfaces with drip trays placed underneath.

Gas generators must be secured to prevent movement during the operation and set up on an impermeable fuel mat with a berm or within a container that can contain 110% of the volume of fuel in the generator.

If you have questions or would like to report concern, contact Stef Dolan, Municipal Construction Coordinator at (780)931-7833.



General reminders

  • Friendly reminder that at no time can any construction material, dirt, equipment or vehicle enter a lot for which you do not hold a valid permit without prior permission from the leaseholder. If you are looking for space, please contact the Municipal Construction Coordinator Stef Dolan at (780) 931-7833.
  • No temporary property stakes are to be removed. If it is necessary to remove them to gain access to a lot, they must be put back immediately.
  • Sidewalk snow removal- The Municipal Grounds crew will continue to do snow removal in a destroyed neighborhoods. They require 7’ to safely maneuver their equipment. If they bypass your construction site, it does fall upon the Prime Contractor to ensure the snow is cleared within 24 hrs.

Spill response plans and hazardous material management

  1. Wet, uncured concrete, excess concrete, concrete dust, and washout water must be collected and retained in a drip tray, leak proof container, or berms double lined with polyurethane sheeting and must not come into contact with waterbodies or storm drains.
  2. Concrete waste must be recycled or properly disposed of at an approved facility outside of Jasper National Park. Proof of appropriate disposal must be provided to Parks Canada.
  3. Concrete mixing activities must take place over tarps and a minimum of 30 metres from a waterbody. Do not dump unused wet concrete on bare ground to harden on site.
*Construction Coordination is making arrangements to have a Concrete Washout station in Stan Wright. In the meantime, please continue to ensure disposable containments are being used and all waste concrete is being disposed off in construction bins.
