Infrastructure State and Condition

Edmonton was the first Canadian city to create a detailed list of its infrastructure assets. This list helps evaluate the state and condition of Edmonton's vast network of roads, bridges, recreation centres, libraries, and other assets. These assets serve the growing needs of Edmonton's population, now and in the future.

The City of Edmonton (City) completes an annual inventory of its municipal assets. Read the most recent Infrastructure Inventory Report to see how the City manages and tracks its assets.

All City departments provide data on their assets to assess municipal infrastructure. The data is evaluated based on the asset's age, value, and condition. Asset management tools are used to analyze the data. These tools help determine the level of investment needed to keep City assets in good condition. Using these tools, the City can reduce the number of assets in poor or very poor condition.

A 5-point rating system (A-very good, B-good, C-fair, D-poor and F-very poor) provides a high-level perspective of the state and condition of the City’s infrastructure. Infrastructure with a poor or very poor rating does not perform its designed function and does not meet program and service delivery needs.
