Re: Road 38 railway bridge replacement

Apr 08, 2015

Councilors,

Please reverse your decision on not installing a culvert at the old railway bridge on Road 38 as it would halve the construction time, halve the cost, halve the disruption and make it safer for all who use the highway. By the way, what happened to the $600,000 estimate that was put forward for both projects in October of last year at the public meeting held by Kyle Labbett, where most people voted for the culvert? Now I understand the job is going to cost three times as much at $1.7 million, and by the time you have constructed a detour for the project it probably will end up being $2 million. I think that some of this money would be better spent repairing the streets of Sharbot Lake town. A petition will follow shortly.
