Gates on Calgary’s Crescent Road being considered as part of master plan and to address safety issues
“You’ve got loud music until all hours of the night,” said Stephen Marando on Saturday. “People are lighting fireworks and when I went up to them and said this is a residential neighbourhood, what are you doing? They said: it is? We have drug deals going on and we have people drinking,”Ward 7 Coun. Terry Wong said that some residents are now raising concerns and are wondering if two recent homicides near 16 Avenue N.W. could be linked to criminals using the popular gathering spot.
Marando supports a road closure but says rumbles strips, better lighting, and more enforcement would help too. Coun. Wong said it’s all about balancing the needs of residents while maintaining access for all Calgarians.
