Councillors Sonya Sharp and Terry Wong proposed moratorium on high-density development in Bowness and Montgomery.

Motion was spurred by the Bearspaw south feeder main’s rupture last June .

Some councillors expressed concern that the motion would give special treatment to two communities.

Ward 8 Coun. Courtney Walcott denied Sharp 's argument that a rapid increase in density has strained the two communities’ infrastructure.

“They don’t care who or what, they just want to steamroll. I really just hope that changes next year .”.
