The governments plan to reduce moose-vehicle accidents is coming together, but with oil prices plummeting and the deficit soaring, advocates are none too optimistic about what the results will be.

Signs placed beside the highway to warn motorists about moose near the road were deemed to be ineffective in preventing accidents.

Transportation Minister David Brazil said that hell be taking the moose issue to cabinet in the next month or so, but first hes doing a bit of final work on the plan.

One of the bits of work to do is a meeting with the Save Our People Action Committee (SOPAC) on Wednesday.

Lucy Stoyles, speaking for SOPAC, said she will attend the meeting, but shes not sure how much good itll do.

I personally think its a waste of time, but I certainly dont mind giving up my time if its going to help,Stoyles said. We all know that money is tighter than ever now.

Back in 2011, just a few months before the provincial election,

then-premier Kathy Dunderdale announced $5 million for a pilot project which would mainly try out fencing and high-tech moose sensors on the side of the road.

Three-and-a-half years later, the moose sensor experiment have been deemed a complete failure, and SOPAC is more convinced than ever that fences on the high way are the way to go.

Binghampton (FOX13) - It's the answer to a prayer for Binghampton residents. The demolition of an abandoned apartment complex on Tillman is providing the gateway for a potential grocery store to set up shop on the site.

It was "D-Day"....Demolition Day for one more inner city Memphis eyesore.

No one seemed more appreciative of the initial destruction of the dilapidated 24-unit apartment complex at the corner of Tillman and Sam Cooper Boulevard than former tenant Veronica Skinner. She had lived there for five long years before moving out last November after the property was sold to the non-profit organization Binghampton Development Corporation.

Yes, it was rough over here toward the end. It had got real rough, says Skinner. The drugs and everything, so, I think it's best they tear them down.

With members of the BDC among those watching the eventual $380K demolition, the group felt they had again met their continuing goal to enhance the image of the Binghampton community.

BDC Executive Director Robert Montague says, We've been working for six years to get the land pulled together. We had to do seven deals to acquire seven and a half acres of land from the police station to Sam Cooper and then this side and over here across the street.

Not only does it mean getting rid of a blighted area, but it sets the stage for a long-awaited dream for the neighborhood. Negotiations are underway for a full-service grocery to occupy the site which could become a welcomed oasis in what's been an urban food desert.

It'll be good to have a supermarket close cause everybody don't have a vehicle and we deserve a grocery store too, said Skinner.

Not only is it important for food and nutrition, but it's important from hope, said Montague.

Work is continuing on complex property demolitions in the Port Hills. - Source: ONE News

Work is continuing on complex property demolitions in the Port Hills area of Christchurch.

Main Road in Sumner will be closed intermittently at night from tonight until January 9 to allow for the demolition of critical parts of properties on Clifton Terrace, known as the "Clifton Cluster".

The properties were significantly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake and were red-zoned.

CERA Port Hills manager Brendan Winder says number 40 will be the first house to go tonight followed by number 42.

The road closure covers the full length of the protective container wall and will ensure that "the minor possibility that demolition material could land on Main Road does not impact on public safety", Mr Winder said.

Main Road will be closed for 25 minutes every half hour from 9pm - 4am.

BOSTON The city of Boston has begun demolition of a structurally deficient bridge that led to a homeless shelter on a Boston Harbor island.

The closure of the 53-year-old bridge in October forced the evacuation of the 450-bed shelter and other programs on Long Island.

The public works department said Monday the demolition was underway with a target completion date of April 30.

The city said Walsh Construction Co., a Chicago-based firm with a regional office in Canton, was awarded the $20.6 million contract after submitting the lowest bid among seven firms.

A replacement bridge is expected to cost more than $80 million and take up to three years to build.

Mayor Martin Walsh's office says the city has found other beds for residents displaced by the shelter's evacuation.

Boston begins demolition of crumbling bridge

It will cost $20.6 million to dismantle the deteriorated Long Island Bridge, Mayor Walshs office said this morning. The demolition project, which prefaces the construction of a new bridge, began today and is expected to continue until April 30. Walsh Construction Company, of Canton, won the bid to complete the project.

Officials evacuated the islands inhabitants and closed the rusty link between Quincy and the largest harbor island on October 8, following years of concern about its structural integrity. Corroded metal, rusted plate connectors, and its questionable overall weight-bearing ability resulted in weight restrictions created in 1995 that remained in place until the closure.

The bridge is 63 years old and serves as the only entrance to the island, which has hosted a recovery center for addicts and Bostons largest homeless shelter since 1983. The Long Island shelter was home to hundreds at the time of its closure. Those people have been redirected to other homes, and temporarily stayed at health centers like the South End Fitness Center until they could be placed. The Boston Public Health Commissions website advises people looking for shelter to go to the Woods-Mullen Shelter on Mass. Ave.

Constructing a new bridge will cost an additional $80 million and take 2-3 years to complete. Officials also say a design period could take up to 12 months. The bridge has been rehabilitated at least seven times since 1990, costing more millions.

In response to the market demand for multiple generation housing, Delta Homes has recently announced a new line of custom homes.

As a result of the recession and recent economic conditions, adult children are returning home to live with their parents and empty nesters can no longer afford their homes because they are retired and on limited incomes. These new circumstances are forcing families to regroup and occupy the same house. The challenge for custom builders is how to satisfy this new market for multiple generation housing.

Delta Homes most recent clients are within this new market and are trying to satisfy the needs of two or three generations in one household.
