156 Street, Edmonton
Encyclopedia
156 Street is a major arterial road
in west Edmonton
, and east St. Albert
, Alberta
, Canada
. In Edmonton, 156 Street runs through the old town of Jasper Place
, and Edmonton's west industrial district. St. Albert names their roads, rather than numbering them, even if a street runs straight from Edmonton into St. Albert (170 Street, 184 Street, and future 137 Avenue.) However, because this street realigns before entering St. Albert, it acquirers the name Campbell Road at St. Albert Trail. 156 Street NW also starts (being aligned with the northern 156 Street) again in the south side of the city. At one time Terwillegar Drive
turned into 156 Street before development in Terwillegar. Eventually the freeway replaced it, leaving small broken parts within the Terwillegar residental areas, retaining its numerical name in named areas. 156 Street continues as 156 Street SW below Quadrant (1) Avenue until the city limits at 41 Avenue SW.
