Pedestrian/Pipe Bridge petition gains traction in Trail

Those behind a petition against the proposed new pedestrian/pipe bridge in Trail say nearly everyone they’ve approached has a concern about the $9.5 million project.

Resident – and former City Councillor – Ron Joseph says the old bridge wasn’t investigated enough to see if it could be repaired properly.

He also argues the structure would take $5 million to take down – on top of the money being spent on the new crossing.

The City is saying petitioners – who have no engineering credentials – are spreading misinformation in the community and restoring the old bridge is not a cost-effective solution.

The deadline to sign the petition is Friday.

If ten percent of voters sign it that would force a referendum in November.
