Councillors passed a resolution approving the plan outlined above during the January 4th council meeting.

A lengthy back and forth between councillors ended with the pedestrian crosswalk plans at Mystery Lake Road moving forward.

During Monday night’s city council meeting a resolution to rescind the January 4^th decision was brought forward by Councillor Dennis Foley, who had missed that meeting. He was looking for councilors to reconsider their decision to approve a plan that will redirect people to cross Mystery Lake Rd at Selkirk Ave instead of Nelson Rd.

Numerous issues were raised by councilors in favour of rescinding such as whether it solves the safety issue and whether other potential solutions were taken into consideration.

Councillors against the rescind argued all options were explored, and that the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee had debated the options extensively.

With a vote of 5-4 the motion to rescind didn’t pass, and the City will continue to pursue the plan.

Mayor Dennis Fenske, and Councillors Blake Ellis, Dennis Foley, and Penny Byer voted in favour of rescinding.
