About 50 residents of High River turned out to protest a road through Sheppard Park Monday night.
Heather Saunders is concerned with that the town's green space plan is being ignored by council.
She's wondered if the plan would be followed as a visionary statement for the community.
Mayor Les Rempel left the council meeting to address the group.
He says the developer has addressed the issue of green space by preserving the volume of land and extending it along the Little Bow to the East and south.
He says the town and the developer are also looking at ways to narrow the road so it has less of an impact on the park.
