North Road Reconstruction In 1977
Cancelled Under New Committee
Editorial Comment . . .
Residents of Kinloss and Luck-
now are gradually realizing that a
further planned construction pro-
gram for the Bruce Coinity road
running north from • Lucknow,
originally scheduled for this year,
has been cancelled in favour ,of.
other work.
A budget of $80,000 to $100,000
for reconstruction of the short piece
of road frOM Lucknow north to the
railroad tracks, and from Holyrood
north as far as funds would allow,
has been cancelled out of the
current year's work.
Taxpayers in Lucknow and
Kinloss, as well as the travelling
public, have been waiting a long
time for a deCent county road
linking Highway 86 at Lucknow to
Highway 9 at Kinloss. It has been
unfortunately known as one ,of the
worst pieces of county road in
Ontario, and the potential traffic on
it has warranted action.
Representations have been made
to the county by individuals and
municipalities on several occasions
in years past.
Finally, after a long wait, which
is understandable considering the
demands for funds and the
restrictions on spending, the road
was put on the reconstruction list
for the county to be done in stages
by county employees.
The first section completed was
from the CNR north to the 4th
concession corner. The second
stage was from the 4th north to the
8th corner at Holyrood.
The county employees did all the
rebuilding of the road and did an
excellent job. It is a fine piece of
reconstruction work.
' But this appears to be where the
project has ended this year.
Leo Murray of Kinloss was a'
member of the Bruce county Road
committee for a 3 year term, having
been elected by county council.
When Reeve of Kinloss, Leo
completed two of these years, but
when he was defeated as Reeve of
Kinloss in the election late last
year, he ' was not eligible to
complete his final year on the
county road committee. Leo would
have served as chairman of this
county committee in 1977, a post
which goes to the man serving his
third year.
John MacKenzie, Reeve of Bruce
Township, was elected to fill the
one year vacancy on Mr. Murray's
term and Mr. MacKenzie became.
chairman of the committee for
1977. Mac Metcalf, Reeve of
Carrick Township, is serving his
second year in the three year term.
Floyd Weick, Reeve of Kincardine,
was the newly elected county road
committee member in 1977 and is
in his first year of a 3 ,year term.
Under this committee, the road
program scheduled for Lucknow
north, was cancelled in 1977.
Our readers can draw their own
conclusions, we certainly have
drawn ours.
