The designer of Edmonton's Freezeway is upset that he's no longer involved with the project now known as the IceWay. Matt Gibbs, a former Edmontonian who lives in Vancouver, came up with the idea of the Freezeway. The City of Edmonton took him up on the idea, but scaled it back. "This is not a question of the city taking someone's business idea," Iveson said. The city hopes to open the IceWay with an expanded ice surface and the possibility of second skating trail in early December.
