"In his report to council recently, Development and Property Director Mike Asselin said the bridge was an important piece of infrastructure and just like other municipal property like bridges and roads, council was faced with the prospect of investing in one of its assets or eventually be forced to close the bridge due to safety concerns. Although there had been some repairs completed in 2020, it was more of a stop-gap measure to deal with some immediate issues."
