Tribunal approves highway intersection closures based on unchallenged expert safety evidence.
The Ministry of Transportation applied to close ten municipal roads intersecting Highway 3 to facilitate highway widening and enhance safety.
The Armstrongs opposed the closure of the Cameron Side Road and 9th Concession Road intersection due to concerns about farm machinery access.
Counsel for the Armstrongs abruptly left the hearing before cross-examining the Ministry's expert.
Based on the unchallenged expert evidence that the closures were necessary for safety and that sufficient alternative access existed, the Tribunal approved the application.
