Plan to close public road in La Ronge for private company stalls
Plans by La Ronge councillors to close a public street and lease part of it to a private company abruptly changed after opposition by nearby land users.
The first reading to enact a bylaw to close Tremblay Street didn’t happen after representatives from Carlson Fish Products raised concerns about what the plan would entail. Council was moving to close the street after it was found KTF Properties erected a fence on public land without permission and doing so would allow the company to keep it up.
“So, you’re modifying everything to accommodate one person who broke the bylaw?” Mary Carlson asked councillors. “To me, you should enforce your bylaw and have him remove his fence.”
