SPR is filled with great destinations for shopping and dining, but the construction can be tough to navigate around. We’ve got you covered! Check out our Along the Road page for the best travel corridors into our neighbourhood and parking zones with easy access to where you’re going.
You have lots of options! Your car is of course an option, though traffic is reduced to one lane in both directions and there is no street parking in the construction zone. Most businesses have parking lots available nearby. Have a look at our Along the Road page to find parking zones.
Public transit is a great option if you have a long way to go between destinations — and it’s a great way to get here from anywhere in the city, too! Plug your start and end points into the City’s ETS Trip Planner to map out your visit. When the Valley Line West is complete, transit along SPR will be even faster and more convenient.
Whether you bring them along on the bus or use them to get here, bikes and e-scooters are a great way to zip from stop to stop, and there are plenty of places along the road to lock up. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, you can always walk from place to place. You might even discover a new favourite store while window shopping!
SPR is a great choice for your business. It’s poised to become Edmonton’s next great walkable shopping and service district.

The Stony Plain Road Business Association actively supports and promotes our members, helping weather challenging times to come through stronger than ever!

About LRT
The contractor is required to follow the construction hours outlined in the City’s
Community Standards Bylaw.
Hours of construction are:
Monday - Saturday: 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Sunday and Holidays: 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
There are situations when the contractor can apply for permits to complete work outside of
these hours.
There are several tools to help you stay up to date with Valley Line West LRT construction.
Website: This is the project website for construction information.
Newsletter subscription: construction bulletins sent via email (you can sign up for updates
on the entire alignment, or just your specific area).
Valley Line West is a major, complex infrastructure project, requiring coordination and
collaboration between the City of Edmonton and its project contractors and partners.
When construction is complete, Valley Line West will be tested to make sure the LRT
vehicles run safely before the line is opened to the public.
