Friendly to Seniors

By Stew Kernan

A group of concerned citizens wants the city to look at the alternatives instead of focusing solely on the Maley Drive extension project.

Friendly to Seniors is holding an information meeting this Thursday to see how the Maley Drive project stands up compared to other road related projects in the city.

Group member John Lindsay says they have Laurentian University Economics Professor Dr. David Robinson and Project Manager Thomas Price as guest speakers who have come up with a formula looking at over 20 factors.

Lindsay says they surveyed their members and 95% of those who responded want current roads fixed before any new roads are constructed.

The meeting will be held Thursday afternoon at 1:30 at the Parkside Older Adult Centre.
