Speaking of twinning, I wonder when Highway 628 out west to Devonian Way will finally get done. That is overdue at this point.

Pretty sure funding for design was included in this years Provincial Capital budget. Not sure if from Spruce to Highway 60 or all the way to Winterburn Road

I would expect the Enoch Cree nation to chip in since Hwy 628 runs through their land. Lord knows how much bank they're making from their River Cree casino.

Highway 60 to Winterburn should be really be prioritized with all the development in Secord/Rosenthal. I remember once getting routed onto that stretch by Google Maps and it felt pretty sketchy. No way I'd take that in the winter.

On the agenda: ICE District event park, public hearings for Newton and West Jasper Place
Council is scheduled to debate the ICE District event park proposal and continue hearing rezoning applications.

- Administration has engaged developers working in the Lewis Farms area on a plan to widen roads sooner than expected to address traffic congestion. Pending council approval, developers would be financially responsible for widening 215 Street southbound between 100 Avenue and 92 Avenue; Whitemud Drive westbound between Lewis Estates Boulevard to east of 215 Street; and Webber Greens Drive westbound from the commercial area to east of Suder Greens Drive. Developers would also fund pre-grading for the north side of Whitemud Drive between 215 Street and 231 Street. Council is set to vote on the plan on Aug. 28 or 29.

This is something the City needs to have developers move on much sooner than they currently do in new developments. It's usually left too long and causes a nightmare (ie: 17th Street in the SE). It's great to have developers be on the hook, just needs to be a mechanism to have roads twinned soonerOn the agenda: ICE District event park, public hearings for Newton and West Jasper Place

Developers should 
pay the cost, put up security, and start contributing to their renewal funds too. If they want sprawl, they should pay all the present and future costs.

No they won't -- the price for housing will just go up and we will be competing with Toronto and Vancouver for non-housing (the kind that no-one can afford)

Enoch is willing to chip in.
Proposal would see widening of west Edmonton’s Winterburn Road, Whitemud Drive
Traffic relief could be coming to some west Edmonton neighbourhoods. City councillor and mayoral hopeful Andrew Knack has a plan to double the number of lanes for a number of high-traffic, high-congestion arterial roads.

Council approves Lewis Farms road upgrades but bigger fixes still years away
The approved bylaw sets out how the costs of building arterial roads are shared between the city and private developers.

Rumor has it that a Hwy 43/34 roundabout is under construction in Valleyview.

A proper interchange on Whitemud near River Cree will definitely be nice to see, especially with all the new developments on Enoch land.

Why not spend those precious dollars to extend the WVLRT to the rec centre and the casino?
