WARNING - REDUCE SPEED - DANAGER

Well when you thought that you have seen everything you take a ride around the Horsefly area roads. It is never disappointing, if from bad to worst is your thing.

I have had the misfortune of travelling the past few days out the 108 Road. At the south end you had better slow down if you don't want to pound the . ..... .. out of your front end. You expected that didn't you?

But wait there is more. Try travelling long the 108 Road South off of the 2300 road. Now there is not a lot of folks living out there but it does get local and tourist traffic.


If you look closely you will see that there is no gravel on this road. It is apparent that there has been no maintenance as well

Watch it when you go around the corner. You might think that there can't be any more of this!


But guess what? It goes on like this for several more kms.

Enough said. (At this time).

I have made a FOI request for budget and work plans for the Horsefly area. It is obvious that there is no money being spent out here. When I get the request back I will be posting it to this blog.

What else? Cattle guards

I wonder if anyone from the Ministry of Highways, or the local contractor, has had a look at the cattle guard on the 108 Road and Louden Road. I guess some one is going to have to rip a tire off there vehicle before anyone does anything about it. I looks like a grader blade (surprise, surprise) has ripped a piece of the cattle guard. Come on guys, fixe it, it is not rocket science.

Then there is the case of the number 3 cattle guard on the 108 Road from the Louden Road. It was supposed to be cleaned out. They removed the cattle guard then put it back. If you are following behind a vehicle when it goes over it you can see it move. I was told by a reliable source, a contract worker, that it needs a new base. I guess this is rocket science as it has not been fixed, and oh yes, guess what, the approach is crap Enough said

Rain, Rain

Let the June rains begin, and they have. You can tell the quality of road by how it handles the rain. I was out the Bells Lake road Monday and it is rapidly turning into a 1 track goat trail. This is very dangerous as much of the track is on the wrong side of the road. Dangerous especially around curves. Is it going to be fixed? I doubt it as the only way that it can be fixed is by applying the magic ingrediant, gravel.

I washed my car on Sunday and in the short drive on Bells Lake road it looked like I had not cleaned it all year. Hmmmmmm
