Anderson Park planning called a disaster

107.5 KISSFM Pete McIntyre June 25

A city councillor is calling the planning in the Anderson business park a total disaster. Councillor Barry Beardsell says the park, which was financed by the city, was designed to be an industrial -business area. "It's turning into a general retail place. You heard the comments today that accountants and realtors are going out there now. What's that got to do with an industrial type subdivison?" Beardsell is also concerned the two lane roadway with a suicide lane as he calls it in the middle, is already overtaxed by traffic. City planner Dale Rintoul says the traffic system and the types of businesses were all debated and approved by the city council at the time. Councillor Juliette Cunningham also has concerns about professionals like accoutants moving to the north end, which she feels will deteriorate the downtown.
