General Road and Highway Discussion

I agree with you.  The Ottawa Street rebuild that started last summer and was to be completed last fall is still not done.  They are painfully slow in completing landscaping and the top coat of pavement still hasn't been put down.  I brought this up with Scott Davey who is running for re-election in my area and his response was so predictable, it is a regional project.  I get that, but who is going to advocate for the city if the local counselor doesn't get involved and take people to task.  It is as though the Regional and City project mangers figure, oh well, just go with it !!  If the contractors are being spread to thin, then open up the tender process to more contractors and ditch the silly must be union workers aspect!!!

Only the province can do anything about the "must be union workers" aspect. There's also the factor of a labour shortage within the construction industry that is also difficult to address.

Which is why we need to get rid of contracts that require union labour...
