General Manager Ken Anthony tells CHSJ News there was never an offer from the Province to remove the tolls without liability.
He says if that was the case they would have taken it.
According to the Bridge authority's legal counsel the board and staff would have had liability issues in unilaterally removing the tolls today because they do not have authority to do that and as far as they can tell nothing changed from the Province on that today. He tells us from what he is hearing it will be the first of the week before the tolls come off. Anthony adds motorists wondering if they should add money to their B-Pass can do so or pay cash. He say extra police will be on hand near the toll plaza not because of concerns of drivers not paying but about speeding.
