West side traffic has North Battleford mayor concerned
North Battleford’s mayor is concerned about traffic on the city’s western edge.
The topic came up in a report presented to city council on Monday, March 14, about a proposed residential subdivision in the RM of North Battleford. The proposed development of 12 residential acreages would be two kilometres from the city limits on the south side of Forest Hall Rd.
The report cited the possibility of more people using the Railway Ave. extension west of Territorial Drive. It’s only maintained as far as the MacMillan industrial park, and the report said the road is “not built to any design standard.”
“The development of these properties is not expected to generate enough traffic volume to have any major impact on this road,” the report said. “However, this is an identified existing problem that affects both municipalities and needs to be rectified moving forward as the RM continues to develop on City Fringe Lands.”
