The Foothills School Division has proposed a new "bus only" exit for The Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks.

The project would see an additional exit being added to the bus loop, with the new exit connecting onto Woodhaven Drive directly across from Cimarron Crescent.

The idea for the project is to alleviate some of the traffic that exits onto Cimarron Drive and allow for a smoother pick-ups and drop-offs.

The project would add new walkways and crosswalks to allow for a smoother flow of pedestrians as well.

While the project has not been officially confirmed, it has been brought to the Town of Okotoks and is currently being reviewed.

The FSD has requested a development permit and is hoping the project will be approved.
