Regarding my post above. Here is some history between Red Deer and the County of Red Deer. It's an interesting read on past growth problems and where the future growth is headed. These two articles are from 2007 but it covers everything pretty well.
This first link is an overview of the problems and has good info and history. Little bit of a long read, but it's interesting to see where they ageed and disagreed.

This second link contains a lot of the same info but goes a little further into certain things. It also contains good infographics and explanations.
