How will the increase in traffic be handled in and around the annexation areas?
Annexation primarily brings undeveloped lands into the city for urban growth over the long term. As such, traffic and transportation impacts of development will occur over time as these areas are planned and eventually developed. The planning processes for these border areas will include input from the respective Municipal District and affected landowners given this important mutual interest. • Will the condition of roads deteriorate with the City maintaining them? The City is responsible to maintain roads within the annexation territory upon the effective date of annexation to at least the standard that was previously in place.

Some roads (e.g. boundary roads such as Range Rd 284 etc.) will remain within the MD.
