PUBLIC METTINGS ON HIGHWAY 103 TWINNING PUT OFF UNTIL FEBRUARY

It'll be February before public meetings resume on a plan for twinning another section of highway 103.

The transportation department has postponed the meetings to await environmental studies.
Its estimated it will cost 85-million dollars to twin the notoriously dangerous section between exit 5 at Tantallon and 6 in Hubbards.
The twinning project would also include another 10-million dollars for construction of an access road at Boutlier's Point.
That is a particularly sticky issue for residents who fear some homes might be lost to the access road.
