It wasn't until Nenshi was elected the plans changed.
Nenshi was elected in 2010. Also, as has been already pointed out to you, he's only one vote on Council.

Does anyone know how Council voted on this issue, and what other options they considered?



This site has collected all the various media coverage this issue has received, going back to 2006: http://www.midfieldpark.ca/news.html


Here's a story from 2010, before Nenshi or Carra were elected, where the residents are complaining about the plan to relocate them east of the ring road: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...-plan-1.932882

In fact, it seems like the original plan was changed specifically because of pushback from the residents: http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alber.../17254161.html


Also, the original plan would have seen the park closed 5 years ago. Part of trying to find a better solution was to give residents a lot more time to find alternate solutions.
