Ontario’s NDP are fed up with the state of the highways in the North.
An online petition has been launched by the party calling on the Liberals to ensure roads are safe for all travellers.
Transportation critic Wayne Gates cited the Nipigon River Bridge as his breaking point saying “Ontarians deserve to know that the road and bridges across our province are safe. And as we just saw with the bridge, brand new bridge that’s 2 months old and we’ve already got problems with it.”
Gates added there continues to be issues with snow clearing leading to highway closures throughout the North.
Ontario has received over 200 complaints regarding maintenance contractors over the past year, according to the Niagara MPP.
The petition can be found on the NDP’s website www.ontariondp.ca.
