Region of Queens Municipality Counc. Randi Dickie said some residents in her district believe last year’s interruption in construction was related to work at the Queens Place Recreation and Community Centre development area.
Engineering and Works Director, Brad Rowter, at a Jan. 13 Committee of the Whole meeting, said the delay was caused by a funding delay at the federal level, “that was beyond our control.”
He said the Region has been advised the announced funds would soon be released and then work would continue from the current end-spot, Alimento’s to at least Hillcrest Ave. It will take three or four years to reach the Brooklyn community core. The federal funding was announced last Sept.
The Region would prefer to reach the entrance to Bowater Mersey’s Woodland’s building. At that point, Rowter said, work would slow significantly because of in-ground Bowater pipes.
