An incomplete road into the Mountain Vista Ranch subdivision is finally going to be completed — even though not everybody is happy about it.

“I’m certain that adding this thoroughfare through Mountain Vista Ranch would be a major mistake on the city’s part,” Don Levy, a Mountain Vista Ranch resident and board member, told the planning and zoning commission two days after the city council’s vote. “It’s a recipe for disaster.”
