Council sends removal of Molly Banister Drive extension plans to public hearing
The long-debated future of Molly Banister Drive is a step closer to finally being decided upon.
Red Deer city council passed first reading on Monday for a bylaw amendment that would remove the extension of the busy south end road from city planning documents, as recommended by administration.
There will now be a public hearing at 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, tentatively slated to be held virtually on the City’s website.
Admin cited Red Deer’s “unparalleled” parks system, which in the Piper Creek area in question is home to at least 44 avian species, 24 mammal species, and various other inhabitants including fish.
