Banff Avenue Open Dec 3 2007

26 Nov

The official opening of Banff Avenue for vehicular traffic has been set for Monday, December 3rd 2007.

The 100 and 200 blocks of Banff Avenue have been closed to vehicles since mid-April, to accommodate the Banff Refreshing project.

On Dec. 3, Mayor John Stutz will celebrate the re-opening with a ceremonial drive down the “refreshed” Banff Avenue between 12 and 1p.m.

Leading up to opening day, Banff Avenue will, and has been the scene of several great outdoor events as the annual WinterStart Festival returns, including Christmas in the Rockies (last weekend), the Santa Claus Parade of Lights (last weekend), and the CP Rail Jam and Street Party (Nov. 30, Dec. 1).
