Aviation Museum speaks out against the Kettle Island bridge
The Canada Aviation Musem, with its recently approved $7M expansion plan, has expressed concern about the Kettle Island bridge.
A major concern for the museum, which is located on Aviation Parkway, is the impact of a potential new bridge at Kettle Island. The choice of Kettle Island as the favoured site for a new bridge means major changes to Aviation Parkway that Mr. Quick [director general, Canada Aviation Museum] believes could harm the museum.
The whole point of the expansion is to improve the museum’s visibility and accessibility, and a new bridge could compromise both. The prospect of cars and trucks from the bridge barreling down Aviation Parkway and blocking access to the museum could set it back. One road change that would have the museum accessed by a circuitous route from Hemlock Road is a proposition Mr. Quick finds unacceptable.
