Bob Comchi and Blair Peacock, of Alberta Transportation & Utilities, and Jim McCluskey and
Gordon Couldwell, of Torchinsky Engineering, met with Council to provide information on the S.H.
873 Infrastructure Project.
The following items were discussed: design, cost of the projects, traffic counts, different
standards for that portion North of S.H. 544, funding, the 75125 partnership agreement, and the
difficulty in accommodating this widening without a 40•metre right-of•way. Alberta
Transportation advised that, if Council made a request to have this designated as a Primary
Highway, Alberta Transportation & Utilities would have to give it a full review.

safety of the travelling public.
