7-Sep-06. Casino neighbours fear congestion. Edmonton Sun, 14.
The River Cree Resort and Casino is tentatively set to open at the end of October, south of Lewis Estates, on the Enoch Reserve west of Edmonton. The $180-million project, expected to generate $100-million in revenue each year, will include 600 slot machines, 40 table games, 12 poker tables and a 255-room Marriott hotel. Rob Sharman of the Lewis Estates community league is concerned about heavy traffic congestion at the intersection of Whitemud Drive and 215 Street.
