Bow Island says no to rerouting Highway 3 south of town
BOW ISLAND, AB – Residents in Bow Island didn’t have to vote for mayor or councillors last week but did vote on a question that is likely to have an even bigger impact on the town down the road.
Town residents were asked whether they support a proposal from the province to realign Highway 3 to bypass the town.
71 per cent of voters said no, and 29 voted yes to the proposal in a 2013 study administered by Alberta Transportation.
Mayor Gordon Reynolds says the results show a clear message to the province.
