Wildstone development up for adoption Monday

Council will be giving their final decision on Monday on amendments to allow a 252 unit housing development in the Wildstone area.

The planned development consist of two phases, with two buildings built in each phase. Each building would be a four-stories with 63 units, a total of 252 units on completion.

A traffic impact study was completed and it found the current intersections would continue to operate well with the increase in residents.

However, the city is looking at options for a second road access to the neighborhood.

“I don’t want to see development stopped because they can’t put a road in,” said Norma Blissett.

“I think we need to go ahead with this and I think we need to go ahead with getting a second entrance.”

The Cranbrook council meeting is at 6 p.m. on Jan. 26.
