2020 Road Work - Phase 3

Just to provide everyone an update for those that haven't been up the road in the past week, we've had the gravel delivered and Jack has done some grading. The 'curbing' at the large culvert and along the side of the beaver pond has been installed. We still have to look after the sumacs over the winter months as well as install the chain at Hwy 7 before the start of deer season. The reamining work is listed below as outlined in the minutes of the September Board of Director's meeting that were emailed to everyone on September 27th:

• - Once the pooled water has frozen this fall/winter on the west side of the road just inside the fence at the highway where there are currently a long clump of sumacs, cut the sumacs in order to improve visibility of traffic for drivers turning into and exiting Yarrow Lane; in the early spring of 2021 purchase sufficient rock / gravel to fill in the area where the sumacs were removed to provide a pull over area to allow vehicles to pass safely
• - Based on road conditions in the spring, improve ditching along sections of the road up from Hwy 7 and remove any additional large rocks from the roadbed that appear after the spring thaw
• - Improve existing pull over areas
• - Enable additional contouring of the road edges to direct storm water to the ditches and off the road surface, especially on hills
• - Provide sufficient funding to test a product designed to secure gravel on steep slopes

• Have a great weekend and stay safe everyone -
