City votes to increase speed on Parkview Drive
MEDICINE HAT, AB — As early as Tuesday morning City of Medicine Hat crews could be replacing speed signs on Parkview Drive.
The arterial roadway was built in 2012 as a means of moving traffic around the busy Crescent heights area instead of through residential corridors.
The road was designed to handle speeds of 80km/h and the city originally intended to set the speed at 70km/h, but a dispute with a neighbourhood group changed that.
