Residents respond to Highway 102 safety survey

THUNDER BAY — Some residents of the Highway 102 corridor are providing feedback on safety concerns through a survey being undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation.

No one was available for an interview, but in a statement the ministry said the intent is to collect information from users for use "in the preliminary analysis to identify potential issues or improvements along the corridor." "While improvements on this highway over the years are generally appreciated, these have caused hundreds of truckers to use it daily as a shortcut, bypassing Kakabeka Falls, which saves them about 10 minutes' driving time at the speed limit."

"I was the first on the scene and major eyewitness of a fatality that happened in the winter of 2021, and it's an ongoing concern. It's not just the trucks, it's everything. It's how the highway was built -- it's the blind spots, it's the curves and the hills, and the maintenance of the highway."
