COALDALE, AB – A new pilot project has been announced in Coaldale that will allow for the use of golf carts on some residential roads.
Coaldale is one of the first towns to pilot the limited use of golf carts, and the project will last five years. MLA Grant Hunter and Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors Devin Dreeshen were at the Land O’ Lakes Golf & Country Club for the announcement on Thursday, October 24, 2024.
The province says projects like this allow new and innovative uses of existing or new modes of transportation, and expands on municipalities already having the ability to allow registered off-highway vehicles to operate on their roads.
Coaldale mayor Jack Van Rijn says, “The creation of this pilot project comes as welcome news to the Town of Coaldale. Thanks to Alberta’s government our Council will be able to pass a golf cart bylaw that gives residents living near our local golf course the ability to drive their carts to and from the course.”
