Future developments

On February 27, 2007, the Alberta Government announced plans to construct a new remand centre at 127 Street and 186 Avenue. This site is located to the north of Rapperswill, and adjacent to the Edmonton Young Offenders Centre, an existing jail for youth. The proposed north extension of the Anthony Henday Drive will separate both facilities from the neighbourhood.[5]
