Stop Campbellford Bridge

To:  Municipality of Trent Hills

We, the undersigned, residents of Trent Hills and/or residents of Canada draw to the attention of the council THAT:
§ Damage to Campbellford’s Heritage Community along Second Street with a bridge is unacceptable
§ Campbellford’s slow and small population growth does not justify a multi-million dollar bridge
§ We have grave concerns about the cost of the proposed bridge which are estimates at best
§ Alternative traffic management strategies would cost significantly less than the proposed bridge
§ Trent Hills has more important priorities for our money such as a Multi-Use Recreational Facility, a CT Scanner for our hospital, and repairs to existing infrastructure including roads and bridges
§ Public consultation on this issue has been wholly inadequate
§ We have repeatedly studied bridge proposals for the past 29 years – it is time to stop spending money on repeat assessments
§ It is time to listen to the Municipality’s Treasurer who has advised Trent Hills that it must tighten its belt and stop spending public money it doesn’t have.

THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the Municipality of Trent Hills Council to put an end to the wasteful expenditure of public dollars on repeated environmental assessments of a second bridge and to defeat all proposals for a bridge in the area of Second Street, Campbellford.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
