Few Details Coming Out Of Shredder Meeting

The meeting that was expected to reveal how the city and NB Power were going to power a metal shredder while at the same time keep west side residents happy didn't provide any details on that solution.

Instead, the meeting consisted of presentation by groups for and against the expansion, which included NB Power, the Port, and the Save the West Side Coastline Group, who want underground power lines.

Mayor Ivan Court would only provide a few details.

He says they could put a temporary line for two years that would run along Fundy Drive.
Court adds council is taking everything said at the meeting into consideration and will make a decision at Monday night's council meeting.

The only figure the mayor would throw out is that it would cost 1.8 million dollars to bury 400 metres of power lines.
