If you have been reading my post, you may recall that in July of last year (2009), I wrote about the new paving job. I commented that there was not any prep work done particularly in the bad section near Jessica Lake Road. That's the section that has always been bad for as long as I can recall.
Well guess what? It's back and it is going to be bad. More of our tax dollars thrown away. You may also notice all the lateral cracking going on on the brand new section of road. If you look up on the web, lateral cracking, you will find that it is usually caused be poorly prepared road beds. You probably will recognize that these lateral cracks are showing up in the same place where they were before the resurfacing. I wonder when they will start crack sealing again!

Right on
Having lived off the Horsefly-Quesnel Lake Rd for ten years, we have seen many different road conditions. Our road goes from Horsefly out to Mitchell Bay with many full-time residents along the way. This spring has been one of the poorest road conditions; perhaps not the worst, but bad. There is a slide area near our home and when things begin to thaw, down comes more of the hillside. Mud flows half way across the road. On the other side is a steep embankment; so, there's really no where to go but through the mud. I am sure that going through this mudhole every day during the spring necessitated or at the least contributed to our having to get the front wheel bearings replaced on our car. When the road began to dry out, we were faced with deep ruts which meant we had to keep the wheels in very specific places or we hit bottom, causing other problems. Here we are in May and still nothing done. If the road is not graded ... well ... soon, we'll be dealing with the rains which will be too late.
I don't complain, but hey IRS, let's be a little more proactive or preventative!
