Bruce County has planned a couple of public meetings to determine the future maintenance and capital needs for the West Rd. between Oliphant and Ferndale.

The group also says some members were told by spokesman for developer planning more than 100 wind turbines on the Bruce Peninsula, that the transmission lines for the project would go on the West Rd.
Bruce county hosts public meetings on the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the 29 km West Rd. next Wednesday in Lions head, and next Thursday in Wiarton.
The meeting at the Lion's Head Community Centre starts at 6:30pm Wednesday evening.
