Road repair more important than downtown

I now know why it is called St. Albert Trail — because it’s like travelling on a wagon trail! We moved here eight years ago when the streets were paved and the boulevards mowed.

We moved here eight years ago when the streets were paved and the boulevards mowed. Now you rumble your way to work on streets that were torn up a year ago and repaired by dumping cold asphalt patches in the potholes.

Council will however be looking at spending money on a new downtown redevelopment plan that “would split the area into four character areas while boosting density, changing traffic patterns and embracing the Sturgeon River as a focal point,” Just make sure you have good shocks on your vehicle on your way to the focal point.

Our mayor said, “leaders have to have guts to have a vision.” Well mine are shaken every time I’m on St. Albert Trail.
