Planner Gary Weikum outlined down zoning to single family housing and limited high density, while critics argued density controls would harm property values. The plan would guide future Maple Avenue improvements and park development as the city studies a fall council decision.

South Ridge school drops solar plan amid cost concerns
Medicine Hat Public School Board trustees rejected passive solar power for South Ridge due to $221 000 cost and a payback of 50 years opting instead for added insulation to cut heating and cooling costs. An $81 500 extra insulation package is expected to yield $72 000 in annual mechanical savings, with a $9 500 net recovered in 10 years. The board left future solar considerations open and discussed gym facility usage at MHHS for judo classes starting in October with mats stored in the auxiliary gym.
