Sweep the roads

Lac la Hache reader wants Highway 97 aggregate swept away

To the editor:

I am highly concerned about the gravel on the roads.

Turning corners and trying to stop on the roads is getting harder and harder to do. People’s vehicles are sliding across the gravel and they are getting into accidents, and someone may not be able to stop and may hit someone.

I have noticed they have been cleaning the roads in 100 Mile House, but not in the outskirts of 100 Mile.

We are a district, a community and a village. We are the Cariboo, and I don't think we want to hear about people getting in accidents and getting hurt, and some people even suing.

The roads are ridiculous, and I would recommend that Interior Roads step up, and start doing there jobs properly. During the winter, instead of using gravel with huge rocks, they should use salt, and sand.

Last summer, I got hit in the collar bone from a rock on the side of the highway while walking in Lac la Hache. No other person should have to go through this.

I hope someone other then me will take a stand with me and help me get what us 100 Milers need.
