Infrastructure Construction to Start April 27
Getting around in Springbrook will get even more challenging on April 27 as construction starts on Phase 2 of infrastructure replacement being done by Pidherney's Trucking. Tamarack Boulevard from Oak to Pine and Oak Street from Tamarack to Willow are scheduled, weather permitting, to be the first streets to be affected for storm sewer and ditch work. Pine Street and Willow Crescent work is scheduled to start May 4. Maple Crescent work should start June 4 and Tamarack Boulevard from Oak to Airport Road should start July 14. Underground work is scheduled to be completed by August 7 followed by landscaping and seeding. Paving is expected to be done between August 15 and September 15. Meanwhile, Phase 3 work in the Harvard Park area is scheduled to commence May 11 by Northside Construction with underground work scheduled to be completed by July 13, followed by landscaping and seeding. Paving will be done during the same time period as the older residential area. Needless to say, this will impact both residents and the summer cadets. The county is setting up a liason office at the fire hall to assist residents in coping with the inconveniences expected during the construction period.

Penhold 21 Day Challenge Very Successful
On March 31, the town of Penhold celebrated this year's successful conclusion of the 21 Days to a Healthier U Active Living Challenge. 16 teams, made up of 80 people exercised for a total of 70,011 minutes, which is equivalent to almost 1,200 hours. This was the town's third year doing such an event, but the first time on their own. Previously, they had joined with Red Deer's annual challenge, Rise Up Red Deer. The theory behind the event is that it takes 21 days to form a habit and that once established, would carry on into the future. Prizes were awarded for the most creative team name, team with the most minutes, individual with the most minutes, most improved team over the period, and a draw from all participants.

Economic Slowdown Delays Malibu Housing Expansion
Red Deer County council approved a one-year delay of the fifth phase of the Malibu Communities subdivision housing development east of the older residential area of Springbrook yesterday. The previous approval for the 78 lots was due to expire on May 20. The project's first phase is basically complete but there are still lots available in the next three phases so the company has decided to hold off for awhile. Although the economy has slowed down, it hasn't stopped so the developers are confident that the delay is temporary.
