The Heritage Pointe intersection will undergo some much needed improvements.

The M.D. of Foothills are official owners of the land just east of the Dunbow and Pine Creek road intersection and plan to clean up the pesky corner.

M.D. Mayor Larry Spilak says the area could be more accommodating.

"We hope to make that access into Heritage Lake just a little more accommodating. Right now it has a pretty tight turn just when you get off of Dunbow road and it would be good to eliminate it."

Spilak adds there's more to the obvious issue.

"The purpose for this, more so than the obvious is the fact that we do need a little more room for the fire hall in order for the trucks to turn properly and they are within reason now but it would just make it that much better for them to have a little bit more mobility."

Spilak says the planning will start in the new year.

"We have not begun the planning stages yet we do plan to get into that stage next year and we will certainly involve the local businesses and residents in that planning area."

Some of the land that is now owned by the M.D. could also possibly be used for residential but all purpose for the area is not decided yet.
