I've often wondered if there is another reason its taken so long. A lot of people who live an work in Fort Mac, do not use Fort mac as their permanent residence, they work there ,and then go home on their days off. Plus the guys from the camps. So these people are using the resources in Fort Mac, and Fort Mac's official population is probably about 52,000 when there are actually a lot more people there living in camps etc...
I don't know if that makes much of a difference though.
As long as they get that highway out of town twinned ASAP (I know they've already started). I think that is one of the biggest issues, highway 63 is just crazy at times, plus there are quite a few deaths on that road.
Then again I'll probably never see the changes as I don't plan on going to back to the Fort ever again.
