The bike path contract was awarded by the City of Montreal, not Beaconsfield.
Unhappy with the delays, Beaconsfield Mayor Georges Bourelle, argued the process of awarding contracts needs to be revisited.
“It would perhaps be a good idea that the contract management be given to the local municipality,” he said. “When the contract is given by the agglomeration, we’re not involved. We have no say.”
