Otineka Hints at Complex Access Plans for Reserve Area
Otineka Corporation and the Department of Highways are negotiating a widened Number 10 Highway access past the Cornelius Bignell Bridge to serve the Reserve north of the shopping complex. Garth Crockett says a new traffic light with left and through lanes would become the Reserve entrance, aiding a future industrial and commercial development across the highway. A rink site may prompt an underpass beneath the bridge, linking Umpherville road to the rink, with four lanes possibly extending to the Manfor turnoff. Construction of a service station north of the complex will begin this summer as cement floors are poured and interior work proceeds. the complex is about 85 percent leased based on offers.
