At Monday’s meeting, the committee decided to launch a study on the Chief Mistawasis Bridge and its connected roadways.

The committee discussed a report at the meeting which showed about 9,900 vehicles used the bridge on a daily basis, making it the least-used crossing in the city.

Some city councillors said the speed limits along the roads leading to the bridge deter drivers from using it, while others noted it would be used more once the northeast section of the city has developed.

The study will take a closer look at the comparison of traffic volume as well as collisions with wildlife.
