What would it look like for St. Albert residents to be able to track buses, snowplows and garbage pick-up in real time?

Residents might get to test that out sooner than they think. As the city pushes forward on its Smart City focus, digital access to that type of information becomes a reality through a proposed Smart City application.

“The dream is … that (residents) be able to access municipal services in an ‘a la carte’ manner,” said Travis Peter, manager of Smart City and innovation for the city.

“That’s smart. That’s actually data, that’s information at your fingertips.”
