Improve Road Maintenance by Dawson Roads


Improve Road Maintenance by Dawson Roads
The Issue
The roads from esket community all the way to Stswecem'c xget'tem (formly Dog creek) need to be graded and from the community of Stswecem'c Xgat'tem counity all the way to upper dogcreek road straight up too the enterprise road to enterpriseroad right to the highway To be more specific, Dog Creek Road from where the pavement ends at Springhouse, all the way to Stswecem'c Xget'tem (Dog Creek) then past to what is known as Pigeon Ranch to Meadow Lake. It isn't only the potholes and washboards, it seems the road to esket formaly (Alkali Lake) is well enough surfaced to keep the dust down but from there to Stswecem'c xget'tem Dog Creek Indian Reserve #2 the dust situation is dangerous for vehicles passing or meeting up along the way.
Dawson Roads is seen driving to Stswecem'c xget'tem and beyond but nothing changes.
When they held the contract years ago they did a better job.
Last March and April the road from Springhouse to Alkali Lake was 'Horrible' to say the least. Many vehicles in Esk'et, Stswecem'c Xgat'tem first nations community members had to have struts, shocks, tires, brakes, leaf springs, etc. totally replaced, and those parts and labor costs are not cheap. It's not only me having hard time with vehicles you all are so
