A Brighton man is already planning action if an environmental assessment is filed for a new railway underpass on Prince Edward Street.
The proposal is to build a 38-million-dollar structure, but Northumberland County can’t afford it, and would need railway and other funding.
But Peter Alker says using the unopened John Street road allowance to build a bridge over the rail lines would cost one third that amount.
He says he will take the issue to the Environment Minister, and ask for a more intense study, if the environmental assessment report to go ahead with the project on Prince Edward Street is filed with the ministry.
