Paving proposal on Sunset Way/60 Avenue close
The City of Lacombe received an unsolicited proposal to pave an 80-metre by 7-metre-wide drive surface on Sunset Way at the proponent’s cost.
Sunset Way/60th Avenue close is a small gravel road section providing vehicle access to Immanuel Protestant Reformed Church and a residential parcel. The city previously had no plans to upgrade the road.
A motion for council to accept this report as information was defeated and council approved the paving of Sunset Way at the proponent’s cost.
The next scheduled regular council meeting is May 24 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall.
