[All] LRT, Hidden Valley and NEB Line 9 update

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks

The Region has approved of the LRT contractor GrandLinq consortium who bid $532 million. (Officials budgeted $545 million). Here is the KW Record's coverage about this:  http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4396238-region-votes-11-4-to-award-lrt-contract/

As for Hidden Valley, council approved to proceed with the latest road design.  Here's the Record's spin on today's meeting: http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4396306-river-road-extension-is-approved/

Now is the time we should be crafting a Part II order Request with the MInistry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Transportation to request that they do a bump up of the project to an EA Schedule D process and request that ALL endangered species be protected


Also, 

The NEB decision regarding Enbridge Line 9 oil pipeline will take place this Thursday at 4:30 pm.

That's it for now. Have a good one!
