Surprised to have not seen a thread on this before, some very very vocal and organized opposition to this redevelopment plan.

Basically the city has to vote to approve the sale and re-zoning of the Paskapoo Slopes area (currently owned by Winsport aka COP) to allow for a commercial development on 1/3 of it.

Personally I live somewhat in the area, although not directly impacted by this, I think its a pretty terrible idea to take great greenspace area and put in more commercial development when it really isn't needed. Sufficient commercial in the area, especially with all the developments just down 16th in RockyView county. With the ring road coming in the whole slopes are going to be changed enough as is.
