That road is in typically rough shape to begin with. Im sure with all the snow this year that its pretty bad. If it stays this cold and continues to snow, who knows, maybe June...arghhh

There are plans to replace the access road later in the year. A two month job starting in August or September. Access will be shut down once again.

Short term pain for a long term gain. That road would benefit greatly from a week of sheepsfoot packing and lots of gravel.

The plan is for a completely new footprint for an all weather road that will meet county constructions standards to meet 40 Km/hour. No more patching up the ****t-hole of a cattle trail to the flats.

The plan is for MacKinnons' Flats to become a Provincial Park with enhanced amenities.

Details of the road construction will follow later.

I think a lot of these projects are on hold until the BRAP is released (Bow River Action Plan).  From my understanding it should be released shortly, which will hopefully provide the direction and timelines that many of these projects will take.

I’m not sure how much this relates to the BRAP entirely as they are having safety issues with the road itself, and more use then expected. Guess we’ll see
