Background
In 2004 and 2005, the neighbourhoods of Holiday Park and King George were concerned that the future road closures around the Water Treatment Plant would cause shortcutting through their neighbourhoods. Several recommendations were made to install or modify transportation infrastructure to mitigate the potential shortcutting. The 17th Street Extension project is one of the remaining recommendations left to be implemented.
Now that most of the recommendations to mitigate shortcutting have been implemented, we are following up with residents to understand if shortcutting is still a concern.
