Foothills' residents will have to get out their old driver training manuals if the M.D. follows through on its' plans for a round-about just north of Okotoks.

M.D. Director of Publics Works and Engineering...Michel Savard says the concept is just now at the design stage.



Savard says the proposal is for a one lane circle, much like what they have in High River.

Savard says traffic has increased along 32nd Street since the new bridge opened.



Savard says if they go forward with the round-about, it will have to be large enough to accommodate farm equipment.

Okotoks' Mayor likes the idea.

Mayor Bill Robertson says a round-about is a good alternative for what's become a busy intersection.



Robertson says the round-about would serve to both calm traffic at busy times and provide a level of safety for vehicles.
