'It reminds me of a European street. When it’s done it’s going to be beautiful'
Motorists are being asked to drive with caution as they pass road reconstruction work on Biggings Avenue, an old narrow street between Queen Street East and Wellington Street East.
“It’s kind of scary when you’ve got labourers out there backing trucks up and sometimes cars are flying by. If they’re hitting barrels they might hit a pedestrian,” Warren said.Warren said the Biggings Avenue reconstruction crew, mostly Sault and area employees working for Toronto-based contracting giant EllisDon, are enthusiastic about the massive project as they dig deep to lay down new pipes before the road gets completely resurfaced.
“This is definitely an awesome job to be on. All the guys here wanted to be a part of this job. A lot of companies didn’t want to have this job but we wanted this challenge,” said Warren, of reconstructing the narrow street. “The holes we’re digging are right up to people’s foundations," Warren said. "Some people’s porches are hanging over our holes."“They’re great people. Everybody’s friendly, giving us cookies and water. We have a good relationship with all the people on this street,” Warren said.

The victim's family was not satisfied with the apology. The government has also increased the maximum punishment for 'driving without due care' from 12 months to seven years. Additionally, owners of vehicles classified as UHPVs will need to undergo online training to obtain a 'U Class' license.
