Over 2,000 respond to survey on Molly Banister Drive extension
A City of Red Deer official says they received about 2,000 online and mail-in responses for its survey on the future of Molly Banister Drive.
The survey, which closed on Monday, was prompted by a proposed amendment to the Municipal Development Plan and East Hill Area Structure Plan. Both documents include a future extension of Molly Banister Drive to the east to connect to 22 Street.
Melcor Developments Ltd. has begun planning a development for that piece of land and wants the extension removed from both documents for planning and environmental reasons.
Senior Planner Christi Fidek says it’s one of the highest response rates they’ve ever had to consultation for a project.
