Lower Town Bridge
is strictly off-limits
Turnberry Township Council has
deemed the Lower Town Bridge
strictly off-limits and any offenders
will be subject to a fine.
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.

Eventually, a municipal parking
lot will extend from the rear of the
SAAN store right to Victoria Street,
said Mr. Keil.
The town has been "more than
gerrerous" in its dealings with the
associatin, said Mr. Keil, adding
that the new lot will be paved,
lighted and fenced.
The combined efforts of the
town, the business association and
private business have done a lot to
alleviate the parking problem in
Wingham over the past few yers,
continued Mr. Keil.
A municipal parking lot at: the
library serves the north end of
town, the south end is well served
by the parking lot on Vittoria Street
and' recent parking changes on
