Last week I spoke with a Ministry representative wanting to find out what the Ministry plans for upgrading the 108 Rd. I was told that there was no long term plans however the present contractor, Interior Roads, was planning to do some work in a few spots. The Ministry representative did not feel the roads were that bad. He also stated that the local supervisor was waiting until the roads dried up. I commented that it is hard to improve the roads when there is nothing to work with. I also mentioned that in the past year when grading happened, it brought a number of large rocks to the surface which the graderman did not remove when finishing. This has devastating consequences to the drivers of vehicles if they don't miss them.

I ask, as well, why ALL the cattle guards were not repaired, 108 Rd, in particular the area's directly before the cattle guards. As everyone knows that there are some rather nasty holes on both sides. I pointed out the cattle guard on Bell's Lake Rd right at there pit. The roads crews drive over that guard several times a day and yet just ignore the holes!!!! He said that he would bring this up with Interior Roads at there next meeting. Hmmmmmm

It is going to be an interesting summer watching how the roads are going to be maintained. As the saying goes: "there is no hope beyond Hope"

If anyone has comments lets get them down. Pictures welcome.
