With how close Beaumont is to Edmonton I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been way more development on the northern part of Beaumont.

It’s not as easy to get to from Edmonton versus the other bedroom communities. I had to drive down there from the university area once and my options were Calgary Trail (from which I’d have to take a dangerous 2-lane highway to reach the town) or 50th Street (which will still have tons of traffic lights on the way even if fully twinned). Took me ages to make the drive because it was also peak hours.

The Nisku Spine Rd is the way to go......
