✔️ Strategic Plan Checkpoint: Midway Trail Report

Welcome to Strategic Plan Checkpoint, a new video series highlighting the progress, decisions, and outcomes of the City of Lacombe's 2026-2029 Strategic Plan.

In our first update, Mayor Thalia Hibbs and City Manager Matthew Goudy provide an overview of the Report of the Status of the Pedestrian Trail Connection to Midway Centre.

Council decided not to move forward with the proposed trail connection at this time, marking the completion of this action item under the Strategic Priority of Responsible Growth and Infrastructure Readiness.

This first Strategic Plan Checkpoint demonstrates how the Strategic Plan guides decision-making and provides transparency on outcomes, including situations where the decision is not to proceed.
