Cattle Guards

A few post back I talked about my discussions with the Ministry and the old problem of cattle guards. I was told that it would be taken up with the contractor. Well if it was I'm sure that no one was listening. Last week I was on the 108 Road and took a couple of shots.




This shot is the cattle guard at 108 Road and Walters Lake Road. Now the arrows point out some spots that may not look significant, but believe me if you don't slow right down you will get a very good jolt.



This cattle guard is just a little ways down 108 from the above picture. Again these holes are suspension altering holes if you don't slow down to less then 5kms.

The only cattle guard in the Horsefly area I have seen constructed properly is on the Black Creek Road. It has paved approaches. You do not see the problems on this one.

You will also notice that the above picture has matter right into the guard. With the up and coming cattle range date fast approaching the local ranchers are going to have to get out and clean these guards out.

Well what can we do about this? If you have any answers to this perplexing question, lets hear it.

Until the next rant ....
