Dear Editor:
Driving north on Beatty Line has become a bit of a suspension testing site.
Travelling by car north of Farley to the Salem road requires a helmet and mouth guard as your body is subjected to vibrations worthy of a Disney ride. The road is being badly beaten by the 20 to 30 loaded gravel trucks an hour that ply the roadway every working day.
These trucks are supplying fill to the massive Sorbara subdivision. The road is tar and chip and has never been brought to municipal standards for a road of that vehicle capacity. Why is the developer not actioned by council to replace at his cost the damaged infrastucture caused by his actions? Sorbara will do very well financially with this subdivision and can afford to fix what they broke.
Can council concentrate on good municipal government for a while? Potholes, clean water and waste removal? This road could be converted into a bike lane I guess, maybe then they would notice?
