A 2013 friction test that cited concerns with the Red Hill Valley Parkway was never released publicly. A newly approved probe by a Superior Court judge will determine why. Mark Carcasole reports – Mar 21, 2019inquiry is set to cost Hamilton about three times what was set aside by council some three years ago, according to city solicitors.
The analysis and presentation of key findings, initially expected in early fall 2023, likely will be released in November. At the time, former mayor Fred Eisenberger appeared to show some buyer’s remorse during an update, submitting to a general issues committee he had regrets about supporting the review amid the rising costs.“If I knew then what I know now, would I have decided to follow through on a judicial review? I think most of us would probably answer no,” Eisenberger said.
The study suggested remedial action due to friction levels in some areas of the roadway being below safety standards.
