Step One For E C Row Truck Traffic


This item will be on the Agenda for Council on Monday. It will probably go on the Consent Agenda since who wants to scare the public about problems with bridges on E C Row.

As I have told you several times already, Cansult, who was retained by the Feds to shoot down the first Schwartz Report, already identified issues with E C Row overpasses and suggested how to improve E C Row.

The Report says that there is a "severe need to proceed withthe rehabilitation of these structures." Doesn't that sound troubling to you?

We all know that Eddie is positioning himself as our figher for keeping trucks off of E C Row. However, when the damaging news is disclosed and the costs required to fix it are given, who in Windsor will oppose the "uploading" of the road back to the Province as part of the border solution.

Our fears will be assuaged. Assuming that trucks and cars will be kept separate AND, of course, that DRTP is dead, E C Row will be transformed magically into our connector to the soon-to-be taxpayer paid "shovel ready" airport lands and the transportation hub. It all fits together so well.

With E C Row being made the redundant border road in case of emergency (the new DRIC road is still the main road to the border) do you want to know what I have just figured out. The Joint Management Committee got almost everything they wanted 5 years ago.
