ROAD UPDATE

Finch has been contracted to grade and repair the lake road this year. January rains, caused some severe road damage that will require extensive fill in some areas and on most hills. The road must be frost free and relatively dry before any grading can take place. The present plan is that Finch will start the work next week and should have all repairs completed by the May long weekend.
We should also point out that there are 3 culverts on the south road and 2 on the north road that may require removal and either replacement or just fill. It is hard to make the decision on these culverts until we get into the actual work.
The right hand (North) road was used by logging trucks this past winter. You will notice a chained off dirt road leading off to the right just after #1037. This is the extent our road was used by the loggers and it is the opinion of the road committee that the road damage in this area is more severe due to their usage. Ken Geller (association President) will negotiate with these loggers for their share of the repairs.
Please add your comments to this BLOG posting for feedback to the road committee. If you have a specific area of the road you would like reviewed by the committee, please indicate the area as being between 911 driveway signs to help us locate the area you are talking about.Road Committee

Load limit was taken off Fraserburg road late Friday afternoon and Bob Hoolans (road comittee chair)has finalized the work with Finch. We should expect the road to be graded and work complete before the May long weekend, that is 5 days away.

Finch is being contracted to bring 12 loads of fill for both the north and south roads, pull and replace deeper 6 culverts and final grade the entire road. This means a good fix to all those washed out hills, valleys and turns. Bob has said the work is valued approx.at $12,000.00, about $5,700.00 to the North and the balance to the South side.

The culvert on the north road is still not fixed. The hole was just filled in and has washed out again.

The Road work has still not been completed. The fill has not been applied and the contractor will be putting a more perminent fix to the lake effluent culvert. Hope this keeps everyone up to date.

I noticed that the contractor has graded the road again and has filled the hole on the culvert. Just wondering when a more permanent fix is going to be done? Or is a hole in the road not a concern for the lake association?
