Residents in Ottawa’s south end say a bridge they use to access their community is dangerous and a solution to fix it is still years away.
Residents in Ottawa’s south end say a bridge they use to access their community is dangerous and a solution to fix it is still years away.
For Sandra Hamilton, navigating the narrow bridge that spans the Jock River in Barrhaven’s Half Moon Bay community is a nightmare.
"It is congestion, it is dangerous, we’ve seen numerous accidents ourselves personally on this bridge as we were driving," said the Half Moon Bay resident.
The bridge has tight corners on either side and is the main road residents use to access the community, which is one of the fastest growing in the province.
"We moved here about 13 years ago we were told that this was going to be a pedestrian bridge and that the Green Bank Road was going to be realigned so it was a very quiet community," said Hamilton.
"That has drastically changed."
Area city councillor David Hill says it’s the number one complaint he hears from residents in the community.
