Spruce Meadows National June 8-9th
In addition to the South West Calgary Ring Road traffic challenges, there will be additional traffic coming to the area for the Spruce Meadows National. A fantastic event taking place but will compound the effect of the traffic issues. If you are planning on attending, do make sure to give yourself some extra time to get to the event.

Foothills Council Cracks Down of Advertising Trailers
Foothills Council provided 2nd and 3rd readings to a new bylaw cracking down on the roadside trailer advertising. There has been a bylaw in place specific to roadside trailers since 2014 but Council updated the bylaw to increase penalties for those not in compliance.
The signs have been an ongoing problem and source of numerous complaints to the municipality over the past several years as the number of the signs have been steadily on the rise.
Provincial legislation prohibits the placement of a sign within 300 metres of a highway, unless a permit has been issued.
First reading for the Bylaw was provided February 6, 2019. Since then, sign inventory has been decreasing so we look forward to lowering this even further in order to protect the beautiful vistas our residents are so used to.
