The bridge was closed three weeks ago on the advice of town- ship engineers, who said the 100 - year -old structure is not safe for vehicular traffic. At last Tuesday evening's meet- ing, Councillor Paul Elgie asked if a path could be left on the bridge for baby bu:,:ies, bicyclists and pedes- trians. However, he was told that a bylaw closing the bridge makes it an offence for anyone to cross it. Trespassers use the bridge at, • their own risk and are subject10,4 $50 fine. Still with the bridge, council has applied for subsidy in the amount of $25,000 for 1989 from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. The emergency funding is to be used to carry out preliminary enemerfrig studies, soil tatting and legal sur- veying this year.
