Full Podcast: https://lovethenorth.ca/article/260927-sudbury-ward-christel-brandle-says Sudbury Ward 2 candidate Christel Brandle raises serious questions about the Anderson Drive project — a City project that she says was originally expected to take about two years but is now into its fourth year. What makes the situation even more frustrating, according to Brandle, is that work has repeatedly been stopped because of issues tied to the project itself. She describes delays involving utility markings, sewer and water lines, and even a line that had reportedly been identified as inactive but was later found to still have power. Brandle says those kinds of problems have forced work stoppages and added more time to a project that was already well behind schedule. Her concern is not just that the work is taking too long — it is that the project is happening under the City’s watch. When a City project is delayed because the City or its contractors do not have accurate information about what is underground, who is accountable for the extra time, extra cost, and disruption to residents? Brandle says people living along Anderson Drive have dealt with years of construction headaches, including problems with garbage collection, snow removal, access, and even difficulty selling homes because of the ongoing work. For her, it comes back to oversight and accountability. If the City is managing the project, but City-related issues are also stopping the work, residents deserve to know why — and what is being done to finally get it completed. #Sudbury #Ward2 #ChristelBrandle #AndersonDrive #CityHall #Infrastructure #Accountability #TaxpayerDollars #GreaterSudbury #NorthernOntario #LoveTheNorth
