I think the city administration stating compliance will be low is important to note.
What is considered a collector? Elbow drive? Heritage? Southland, 162nd?

Elbow Drive yes. The rest are arterial.

Arterial Street
Arterial Streets provide a reasonably direct connection between multiple communities and major destinations and carry between 10,000 and 30,000 vehicles per day. They are typically spaced 800 to 1600 metres apart. Arterial Streets make up much of the Primary Transit Network. Green infrastructure strategies may include vegetated swales, rain gardens, filter strips, and native vegetation.
Bow Trail is an example of an Arterial Street.

Calgary.ca doesn't have a description of what a Collector Road is, but they are low-to-moderate-capacity roads which serves to move traffic from local streets to arterial roads. So these would be your main roads within the communities itself.
Fairmount Drive is another example of a Collector Road.
