As Ottawa and the Province continue to look for middle ground concerning the future of the Harbour Bridge, what does the Authority think of the latest proposal? It has many factors including Ottawa forgiving the debt of the bridge, providing $17.5 million toward repairs and removing the tolls but want the Province to accept sole responsibility of all future costs. Chairman Bob McDevitt tells CHSJ News, he is still going over the numbers. McDevitt is very aware that if a proposal is worked out to remove the tolls, the Authority may be scrapped as well and that means 8 or 9 jobs are in jeopardy.
