Planning & Recreation
- The SCA sits on the planning committee for a new community centre. The project is moving forward, but very slowly. The County acquired the land adjacent to the Park For All Seasons for future recreation needs.
- We continue to engage with RVC on the following:
- Improving communication to residents: we worked with Bragg Creek, Langdon and Elbow Valley to provide recommendations to improve public access to information and to improve Bylaw 317 (notification).
- Land Use Bylaw: inclusion of the Special Function Business permitted land use
- Planning Items: Area Structure Plan, Cell Towers, Bingham / Costco, Webber Academy, proposed developments
- The SCA is in contact with Alberta Culture regarding Alberta Transportation’s acquisition of 2000 acres along the Bow River.
River Access in Springbank
- River access continues to be a hot topic! An application to close the Road Allowance that provides public access to the Elbow River on RR31 was denied.
- The SCA submitted the result of our river access survey to RVC to inform planning processes.
Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir
- The SCA sits on the Land Use Committee for the SR1 project. Stay tuned for results of the planning process.
- Construction is underway. We have requested information from AT about road closures and air quality monitoring.
