Premier David Alward not ruling out reimbursement for road repairs the city is making to streets that are a provincial responsibility.
While Alward couldn't comment on the specifics of Chesley Drive, he tells CHSJ News designated roads are normally looked after based on a five year plan set up by the city.
Alward says the province works to address the city's priorities with the funds that are available.
Saint John will be paving 3 lanes of Chesley Drive, a road that is provincial property, and will be seeking reimbursement from the province later.
