The mayor of Port Hawkesbury says town officials are not ready to stop pushing for advance greens to be added back into the Destination Reeves St. plan.
Inverness MLA Allan MacMaster asked Llloyd Hines, the province’s transportation minister and the MLA for Guysborough-Eastern Shore-Tracadie, why the flashing greens were removed from the project during the fall session in October.
Hines said his staff members determined they weren’t required for public safety.
After November’s regular meeting Monday night, Brenda Chisholm-Beaton, the town’s mayor, said that’s not the plan town councillors approved.
“We would still like to have a conversation with NSTIR, because we really did make a motion based on a certain plan that included those permissive protective lights,” she said. “I feel like there definitely will be a desire- a willingness- from NSTIR to sit down with the town just to have some conversations about this piloted phase, and to see what the best go forward could be.”
Chisholm-Beaton said she isn’t ready to stop talking about it until that conversation happens.
