But at the end, the report suggests that council approve the developers plan for more housing on the west end of Discovery.
Will try to link that here.

Found this as well, Aenas. Clear as mud to me.
Some stuff has now come to my attention after further investigation:
- No wonder the MD (Rockyview) turned down the road to this development going through Elbow Valley, a councillor for the MD lives in Elbow Valley.
The development is in the MD; the MD said no way is that traffic going down her road.
*So the City of Calgary is going to pay to build a bridge, a road, and entrances to DR, while the development and taxes get paid to the MD. Nice!!!
Guess which one is opposed:

- Oh and the 2 open houses they had on this - 1 in May 2010 - 50 people showed up. In May of 2012 another one (both in Elbow Valley) and 15 people showed up! 15 people! You think City council would want to ensure those potentially affected would at least have some idea of what's coming. A resident in the community said he saw a sign about the open house. He went and nothing was going on. He called the council and was told the info on the sign was incorrect.
Civilized corruption at its finest.
