Debate Continues Over Condition Of Local Roads

The issue of poor road repairs coming up again at Common Council.

Councillor Bruce Court asking Commissioner of Municipal Operations Paul Groody why the city isn't doing road repairs itself instead of hiring contractors given the roads are breaking down too quickly.

Groody says the city used to go that route but it is more cost effective to contract the work out but can take another look at the numbers if council wants to.

The city is looking into adding quality guarantees or extended warranties into all future tenders for road repairs.
