Leduc residents can weigh in on a plan to build 254 new homes, along with shops and park space, on about 160 acres next to the Bridgeport neighbourhood. City council will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 6, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. in council chambers at the Leduc Civic Centre.

The land sits north of Bridgeport, bordered by 65th Avenue to the north and Grant MacEwan Boulevard to the west. The proposal includes single-family houses, duplexes, townhomes, and one multi-family site. It also sets aside space for commercial and light industrial uses, as well as parks.

The hearing covers two items: a new outline plan for the area called NW34, and Bylaw 1254-2026. If passed, the bylaw would change the land’s zoning from Urban Reserve, which freezes development, to a mix of districts that allow the new homes and businesses. The outline plan gives a detailed layout of where everything would go.

This project fits with the city’s 2027-2030 Strategic Plan, which names responsible growth as a top goal. Leduc is one of Alberta’s fastest-growing communities, with recent estimates putting the population around 40,000 people. More homes are needed to keep up with that demand, and the plan offers a mix of housing types on smaller, more efficient lots.

Anyone wanting to speak at the hearing or send written comments can contact the City Clerk’s Office at (780) 980-7156 or [email protected]. The full outline plan is available at City Hall and on the city’s website.
