The Harbour Bridge Authority is looking for permission to borrow $35 million dollars for repairs. The authority needs the approval of city hall before it can venture into a loan – – – and in a letter to common council says money will not be needed from the federal, provincial or municipal government if the request is granted.
Approval needs to be soon, so repairs can begin by April 1st or an entire year of work will be lost. Tonight’s council meeting gets started at 5:45pm in the council chamber.
