Council Talks New Solutions For Road Woes

It's not a shock to anyone that Saint John's roads are in poor condition....but our newly minted common councillors are looking at new solutions to the perennial problem. Councillor Donna Reardon suggesting the city needs to look at a more modern approach, like putting concrete under asphalt and using reflective paints on road markings.

Reardon tells CHSJ News the sidewalks in some areas of the city are also in deplorable condition, with lots of broken sections and dirt impeding the way for pedestrians.

Councillors Bill Farren and Shirley McAlary agreed, saying money needs to be found somewhere to deal with the issue. Councillor Reardon suggesting if the roads are built smarter, there would be less labour costs.
