Roads in rough shape

Dear Editor:

Wow! I have found out why we are getting lower speed limits within Centre Wellington.

It’s not all because of residents requesting lower speeds or excessive traffic, it’s because of road conditions. Many of our streets in Fergus are in such bad condition that it’s unsafe to travel more than 40km/h as you will likely damage your vehicle, or worse, lose control of your vehicle.

Take a drive on Strathallan Street East from Victoria to Gzowski Street or drive on St. Andrew Street (our main street) from David to Scotland street and you will see what I mean. 

Main street of “Tourist Elora” will never get as bad as Fergus streets.

Paul Roberts,
