Delegates Oppose Hillsburg Highway Relocation Plan
Three delegates from a 12 member group met Hillsburg council Friday night to oppose relocating Provincial Road 691 from Highway 82 to the junction with Road 584. They argued landowner impact and the old road’s viability, urging repairs to avoid relocation costs. Reeve John Perchaluk said Hillsburg would coordinate with the district engineer and Shell River council to seek alternatives at a joint meeting. Perchaluk also reported on a Swan River meeting about hay purchases, noting one dam lowered to aid 3000 acres and up to 30,000 acres with Ducks Unlimited approval. The Carrot River region would have first priority. other municipalities could follow, with cautious supply expectations. The council will pursue Merridale Hall committee input on a Manitoba Telecoms burying cable request.
