Several hundred residents of Coldstream are demanding action on a road project.
The residents have tabled a petition calling for a pathway or shoulder to be added to Kidston Road.
Mayor Gary Corner says the narrow road has also been a concern to council for some time.
'Its a fairly expensive undertaking so what we're going to do with this is we've got budget talks coming up shortly so we're going to deal with this during those budget talks to see how we can work towards getting those improvements done on Kidston Road.'
Corner says the upgrade would require the acquisition of some property on the road, from Coldstream Creek Road, to Kal Lake Provincial Park.
District council is looking at holding a referendum in November 2008 to see if residents support increased taxation, for pedestrian and bike path projects, like the one on Kidston Road.
