Winter Maintenance Of Harbour Bridge Up For Discussion

Looks like the city won't be taking over the winter maintenance of the Harbour Bridge....Councillor David Merrithew had put the idea out as a way of offsetting some expenses. Bill Edwards, the commissioner pf Buildings and Inspection Services, says it would mean spending on extra workers and equipment.

Merrithew says he doesn't see why the crews couldn't plow the bridge when they're already using it to get from point A to point B.

Councillor Bill Farren says it's not that simple because the bridge requires different treatments depending on the conditions. Merrithew says he plans to talk to the minister of finance about the possibilities.
