The roadway was originally the core of the city of Strathcona and was the division between the north and south quadrants, and Main Street, now 104 Street (Calgary Trail) was the division between the west and east quadrants.[3] In 1912, Edmonton and Strathcona amalgamated, and Edmonton adopted its present numbering system. Whyte Avenue was co-designated 82 Avenue, which allowed it to keep both names. As Alberta's highway system developed, Whyte Avenue became part of Highway 2 (previously Highway 1 prior to 1941) between 104 Street and 109 Street, and it was part of Highway 14 east of 104 Street.[4] The highway designations were moved to Whitemud Drive in the 1980s.
A small section of 82 Avenue exists as a collector road between 71 Street and 50 Street, where the main roadway transitions to the Sherwood Park Freeway.
