To the Editor,

Hello again from Lugrin Road. I wanted to say thank you for the newly filled in patches, especially on Chapman Road. I don’t understand, however, why the smaller holes—soon to be bigger ones—were not filled in as well. I mean, there were workers, a truck, equipment, etc. Why not do the additional patches and save a trip at a later date?

I noticed that just as Chapman Road curves at Lugrin Road that the side of the road is breaking down and there is no shoulder there, causing this section to be a challenge, especially when the tandem dump truck meets the bus. Encountering the bus and the blue tandem dump truck are even scarier in that spot when driving a small car.

We are hopeful that when the traffic lines in the downtown are all refreshed that Lugrin will have their yellow centre line painted as well.

Patricia Lee,
