Leaside Bridge is finally getting a safety barrier, with city council telling staff to immediately install temporary protective measures until the permanent barrier is in place.

Council not only voted overwhelmingly in favour of fast-tracking the barrier on Thursday, but authorized senior city officials to negotiate and award a contract to RV Anderson Associates Limited “on a non-competitive basis” for the barrier’s design — which they also decided would be angled steel frames with mesh.
