Report a pothole in Parkland County

Why Parkland County gets potholes

Parkland County sits in central Alberta's continental climate zone, where winter temperatures can plunge to around -40°C. What makes it especially rough on roads isn't just the cold itself but the Chinook effect, which can swing temperatures by up to 30°C in a matter of hours, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt and chew up gravel surfaces. Spring thaw compounds the damage, and the county's large gravel road network means rutting and washboarding are just as much of a problem as the classic asphalt pothole.

How to report potholes in Parkland County

Parkland County's official reporting tool is the County Concerns portal on their website, where you can flag potholes along with other road issues. You can also call 780-968-8888 or email hello@parklandcounty.com during business hours. For potholes on provincial highways passing through the county (like Highways 16, 43, or 22), contact Alberta Transportation's Stony Plain District Office at 780-963-5711 rather than the county. RoadRot works alongside these channels: drop a pin on the public map, let the community confirm it, and use the built-in email-your-rep tool to send a complaint directly to your representative yourself.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Parkland County?

It depends on the road. Parkland County's Public Works and Engineering Services department handles the county's local roads, including roughly 800 km of paved surface roads and 1,250 km of gravel roads. Provincial highways running through the county (Highways 16, 43, 22, and others) are maintained by Alberta Transportation, not the county.

Does Parkland County have 311?

No, Parkland County doesn't have a 311 service. Your best options are the County Concerns web portal, calling 780-968-8888, or emailing hello@parklandcounty.com during regular business hours.

What's the worst time of year for potholes in Parkland County?

Spring thaw is the most damaging period, when frozen ground softens and heavy vehicles break through weakened road surfaces. Alberta Transportation triggers seasonal road bans on local roads during this period specifically to limit the damage, but the combination of thawing ground and rural traffic still takes a real toll on both paved and gravel roads.

How do I report a pothole on a highway that runs through Parkland County?

Provincial highways in Parkland County are Alberta Transportation's responsibility, not the county's. For roads like Highways 16, 43, or 44, contact the Stony Plain District Office at 780-963-5711 or the Edson District Office at 780-723-8250. You can still pin the location on RoadRot to create public visibility while you wait.

Can I claim vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Parkland County?

You can submit a claim to Parkland County if the damage happened on a county-maintained road, but success typically depends on whether the county had prior notice of the pothole and a reasonable chance to fix it. Document everything: photos of the pothole, photos of the damage, date and location. If it's a provincial highway, the claim goes to Alberta Transportation instead.
