A Common Councillor's request to ask the Harbour Bridge Authority to close the bridge for a day is being denied. Gary Sullivan wanted to get the attention of the provincial and federal governments. Sullivan says this needs to be done now, as construction season nears.
The request was denied by council for many reasons including safety and creating traffic Congestion at Simms Corner.
West side Councillor Peter McGuire says it's a good idea to try to raise awareness but a bridge closure would be too inconvenient for residents.
