The City’s first draft of the proposed new Official Community Plan (OCP) which is circulating for public consultation through public events and online has raised some questions around a hypothetical roadway through the Community Forest.
The draft OCP can be found online at cranbrook2024.ca with public input welcomed until Sunday, December 10, 2023.
The first draft of the OCP including the proposed roads that is being circulated publicly is intended to receive public comments. The City confirms that there are no current plans or proposals to develop a road within the Community Forest.
The City is also working with the College of the Rockies (COTR) on their road project to extend College Way through to 30th Ave North, which is located on College owned property and funded by the Province. The college issued a media release on this road project. The new COTR road is shown in the above image.
