As we move into another fall season where wet weather persists, I often notice an increase of calls with concerns about the condition of some of our rural roads.
As a representative of a rural ward, our rural road infrastructure has always been at the forefront of my mind during annual reviews and budget discussions - in the past few years we have seen a great increase in road improvements in our rural area however the increase hasn't yet solved all of our road issues.
Tonight I was called by a resident whom I've spoken with in the past; his road was in terrible shape, and when I drove out to see for myself I had to agree. We must focus on improving the condition of our rural road network to ensure the safety and fair treatment of our residents.
