The situation still has not been resolved. The $5500.00 per family is too stiff for,the residents and asked if Council would consider helping with the Gost of this road. A precedent could be met but this didn't necessarily mean'it would be wrong. They were in hopes of $3500.00 per family based on Beech Hill paving.
