Bypass needed

The City of Red Deer wants $107 million from the province to pay for a $133 million northern bypass.

While this isn't exactly related to St. Albert's 2009 operating or 2009-11 capital budget, it's an issue that relates to our local history. I suppose there's a slight budget tie in with the $45 million in the 2009 budget for stage three of our bypass, Ray Gibbon Drive.

Perhaps Red Deer will be able to swing a similar deal with the province.
