Undeveloped Road Allowances
A road allowance is a parcel of land that could be developed into a public road if needed in the future. These lands are owned by the Province of Alberta but are managed under the care and control of municipalities. The license holder is not granted exclusive use of the undeveloped road allowance and may not restrict access.
