CitySSM The City’s application for 2016 Connecting Link funding for the Black road widening project has been turned down.  The design of the 1st phase is complete as it was scheduled to be tendered in early April.  Property acquisition for the widening is underway.  The City can’t fund the widening of phase 1 on its own.  The MTO told the City that the province had other more urgent priorities such as bridge rehabilitation and very poor road surfaces in other municipalities.
