There was no mention of the Region of Queens Municipality in the province’s 2017-18 capital plan.
It’s a fact that wasn’t overlooked by Mayor David Dagley.
He read the plan along with the province’s five-year highway improvement strategy, which also didn’t identify any project in Queens for 2017.
Dagley says the municipality has been lucky in the last year.
“We’ve had a completion of the Port Mouton by-pass, we’ve had a new bridge in Milton and we’re expecting that Queens is well on the radar of our provincial government and we’ll pick up road work in future years.”
Dagley says he is concerned but understands there is only so many dollars to go around.
“As they move forward they make decisions. We are the recipient of those decisions and we’ll work with the provincial government as we move forward to ensure Queens is looked after.”
One project is listed for 2018.
It will see a 6.3-kilometre section of Highway 103 between Brooklyn and Liverpool repaved.
