Black Water Road

I have recently had the opportunity to travel up the Black Water Road (Prince George – Quesnel area) this past month. What a difference when you compare it to our area. Even on side roads with 1 or 2 people living there, the roads are very well maintained. With a recent snow fall, the roads were cleared a day and half after with follow up clean up and grooming following in 3 days time.

Another thing that I noticed is how each driveway had been cleared. This is a very nice service and can go along way to getting the taxpayer on the side of the road contractor. I even noticed where some drive ways have no place to place there snow, pushed across the road, the Contractor makes sure that the snow is pushed back so as not to cause any danger to vehicles using the road. This is not the case, or at least has not been the case recently in our area.

The question is: Why is there such a difference in the standards in the way the roads are maintained. One last thing, my favourate, all the cattle guards I crossed, were perfect. Hmmmmmm.

Have a safe one.
