Council backs landfill fee review, supports 50 km/h limit on Lakeshore Drive
North Bay councillors voted to refer the waste management user fee report to the Infrastructure & Operations Committee for a public meeting, while the updated speed limit will need to pass through bylaw approval before taking effect.
Drivers and residents could soon see slower speeds on Lakeshore Drive and higher tipping fees at the Merrick Landfill. Both measures, according to North Bay Council, reflect growing concerns about community wellbeing and sustainability across the City.
