Fibre Internet Installation for Sandy Bay Homes
Official title: New Fibre Installation - Sandy Bay
Westman Media Cooperative wants to bring fibre internet to every home in Sandy Bay, Manitoba. The project involves burying about 15 km of cable along Main Rd, Ridge Rd S, Lake Rd N, and Highway 261. Installation would use directional drilling, trenching, or existing conduits.
Why This Matters
Live in Sandy Bay? This project could bring high-speed fibre internet to your home. Construction along Main Rd, Ridge Rd, Lake Rd, and Highway 261 may cause temporary disruptions while crews bury the cables.
What Could Change
If approved, Westman Media Cooperative would install underground fibre optic cables to all residential homes in Sandy Bay. Construction would involve directional drilling or trenching along existing roadways.
Key Issues
- Should the fibre optic installation project proceed in Sandy Bay?
- What are the potential impacts of construction along local roads?
