Stop The Kettle Island Bridge

NCC Decision: 3 options to go forward

The NCC voted unanimously to go ahead to Phase 2 with three options. This is contingent on funding from the Province of Ontario—agreement to participate in next phase of the study is not clear from their statement. Phase two is expected to cost $1.7 million for each of the three funding partners and is expected to take four years to complete as opposed to three. Phase two will also include a commercial vehicle origin/ destination study.
