Highway plan clash over Trans-Canada upgrade at Kin Coulee
City Council weighs two proposals to widen the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kin Coulee. The city plan adds three diamond intersections and a southward 13th Avenue shift, while Sunderland of Hat Development Ltd proposes four lanes in place with service roads and no 13th Avenue crossover. Both foresee four-lane expansion by 1984 and total costs near 15 million. Alberta Transport backs the city approach for safety and construction ease, though funding could shift if alternatives prove similar in cost and safety. Safety remains the priority amid land expropriation concerns and potential future six-lane expansion.
