A civic committee has approved construction of a controversial
bridge over the Seine River.
The property and development committee made the recommendation
earlier this week. It will go to a council vote at the end of
January.
At issue is the future of an area along the Seine River south
of Bishop Grandin Boulevard containing a 100-year-old oak forest
which will be affected by a proposed bridge connecting Southglen
Boulevard to a new 760-home housing development planned for the
Royalwood subdivision.
The environmental lobby group, Save Our Seine (SOS) charged the
proposed bridge is not necessary and will destroy valuable wildlife
habitat if it's built.
