History
[edit]Red Deer County Council adopted the Liberty Landing Outline Plan in April 2015 for 46 ha (110 acres) of land on the north side of McKenzie Road between Highway 2 and Highway 2A in west portion of Gasoline Alley.[3] With an estimated population of 2,349 living within 890 dwelling units at full build-out,[3] Liberty Landing began developing in the west portion of Gasoline Alley in 2017.[4] Show homes began marketing the residential community in September 2018.[1] Due to high development fees associated with utility connections in the area, Red Deer County decided to designate the west portion of Gasoline Alley as a hamlet in order to facilitate franchise agreements that would reduce development fees.[4] Red Deer County officially designated Gasoline Alley, inclusive of Liberty Landing, as a hamlet on October 2, 2018.[1]
Geography
[edit]Gasoline Alley's hamlet boundary comprises Highway 2 to the east, Township Road 374 (McKenzie Road) to the south, Range Road 275 to the west, and Waskasoo Avenue/Leva Avenue to the northwest.[4]
