It seemed as though their problem had been solved, but it wasnât to be for the residents of Bartlett Road.
The Lennoxville residents were told last month that the city would be fixing up the crumbling street, only to have the plans cancelled because of a misinterpreted contract.
On September 19 the City of Sherbrooke approved plans at a council meeting to invest $2 million into roadwork projects this fall, $430,000 of which was to be dedicated to repairing Bartlett Road.
A misinterpreted contract forced the City of Sherbrooke to reconsider plans announced last month to undertake construction work on multiple roads this fall, meaning only one of the four streets targeted in the initial proposal will see improvements in 2011.

âThe residents of Asbestos deserve to know what this project is all about, and we cannot tell them unless the company gives us something to work with.â
