The City of Vancouver is trying to reassure the public that the Granville Street Bridge is safe, despite recently filing a lawsuit against a trio of contractors that suggests the opposite.

The City of Vancouver is telling the public that the Granville Bridge "does not pose [a] safety risk to the public" despite the city filing a notice of civil claim Feb. 14 against companies hired to perform work on the 70-year-old structure.

The city alleges some of the recoating work was never done, with no caulking and penetrating sealer applied in all places it should have been.
