In an e-mail, the Department of Transportation is responded to Mayor Court's concerns. Officials says exsisting traffic volumes warrant the expansion of the Mackay Highway which is not just a link from Saint John to the outlying area's. It is a key trade corridor between New England and Atlantic Canada and to help make way for further industrial and business growth.
The e-mail also points out the information on the expansion of the highway has been public knowledge for 16 months now and this is the first time they are hearing this concern which is a suprise to the department.
To date, DOT has not received any letter or e-mail from city officials voicing any concern about the project.
