County wants to meet with province about costly roads
BY BLAKE PATTERSON
SSP News Staff
Huron County is asking for
a meeting with Ontario's
Minister of Transport to say,
"We can't afford the roads you
gave us."
At the Nov. 7 meeting of
Huron County Council, the
county agreed to request a
meeting with the provincial
Minister of Transport Al
Paladini to say the county is
not in a position to accept the
the transfer of highways 83,
84 and 87 without adequate
compensation.
The minister will also be
asked for the $400,0(X) needed
to reconstruct the Black River
Bridge (built in 1947) on
Highway 83.
At the Sept. 5 meeting of
council, the county was
informed that by April 1,
1997, the province will trans-
fer Highway 83 from
Highway 21 to the Perth
County boundary; Highway
84 from Highway 21 to
Hensall; and Highway 87
from Highway 86 to the
Wellington County boundary.
The transfer represents a 70.6
kilometre increase to the
county road system.
The county will receive a
one-time only grant of
$4,465,950 to compensate
these transfers. A June 1995
study, however, indicates that
a total of $6,442,500 would he
