You talk about reducing the speed limit past the new Granite Ridge school for safety. Where is the safety in removing the old railway bridge to grade? Installing a box culvert will not only be safer but quicker to construct, as there will be less material to remove and the road will re-open sooner. Councilors, please think again as an easier access to the trail by unwanted vehicles will allow more garbage to be disposed of, which will be another issue. So Mr. Labbett decided not to listen to the people who turned out on that cold winter night, and to do his own thing. What a waste of people’s time. At the meeting it was estimated the cost would be about $600,000 for either project, so how come it’s now going to cost 1.7 million? That’s three times as much. If this construction is to last the next 80 to 90 years and it saves one life it has to be worth it.
