Dear Editor:
I’m a Grade 8 student from John Black Public School and if you read these letters often you might remember me from last year. And I’m back and better than ever.
This is getting to be a bigger problem than it was last year. The bumps and potholes are still there. And they are getting more annoying as the days go on. It does not just make people mad when they are driving by. It can be a serious problem for injured or sick people.
People who live on Beatty Line need Colborne Street as a way to get to the hospital. I think the town of Fergus needs to do better. Take this as an example. Let’s say you are injured. You obviously need to be driven to the hospital. And you need to be there as quickly as possible. If you live on Beatty Line you have to take this treacherous road to get to the hospital.
It’s a health hazard for people with serious injuries. It doesn’t just affect people who are going to the hospital. It affects everyday citizens who just take the road to get somewhere.
Jace Giles,
Fergus
