Calgary eyes adding another 3 new communities along outer edge of city yyc
Another three new communities proposed for Calgary’s outskirts will be up for approval later this year after the business cases for them were given the green light by a city committee last week.
According to Matthew Sheldrake, the City of Calgary’s manager of growth and change strategy, the work focused on risk assessments. According to city administration, development of the three new communities is “not well-aligned” with Calgary’s new climate strategy. “It’s like the city declares, ‘We’ve quit smoking,’ and then they just stand there and smoke cigarette after cigarette after cigarette,” she said. “It just doesn’t line up.”
Ward 9 councillor Gian-Carlo Carra, who voted against approving the five new communities in July, voted in favour of moving the three new neighbourhoods to the next step in the process.
