School Boards Concerned with Road Conditions

The Rainy River District School Board intends to respond to a letter from the Ministry of Transportation that indicates there's been no change to the service level this winter of Highways 502 or 622 near Atikokan.

A couple of bus companies have already stopped using Highway 502 as a route to transport school teams between Dryden and Fort Frances.

And chair Mike Lewis says there's concern a similar decision might be made about Highway 622 near Atikokan.

The Northwest Student Services Consortium says its also working with the MTO to monitor road conditions in
the region and is seeking feedback from local motorists, including photos.
