A well-written and informative article by Neil Godbout on city mistakes. The only trouble with the article is it opens a floodgate of questions.
Not wanting to beat a dead horse but the city is borrowing $32 million for 11 projects.
So where would the remaining extra over budget $24 million come from to finish this projects?
That would be my guess of overspending needed to finish these projects.
I cannot recall when city planners and project engineers came in on budget on one project, let alone 11.
One last question on the Willow Cale bridge mess.
How do we get the name of the company who did the soil sampling for the bridge? The name of engineering firm that designed the bridge?
The name of company that built the bridge?
These companies all got really nice Christmas presents.
I can only hope that the money the city donated went to Prince George companies, not some low ball, out of town companies.
At least then some of our money went back into the city in wages and supplies.
