Dear Graham:
This letter is to address the continued hazardous ice condition that is located in
front of my residence at 374 Cedar Hill Road. As you know, there is an issue with
either water run-off staying in the roadway or underground seepage onto the
roadway and freezing. This condition has been evident for the past few years.
I know in the past that we have spoken of this, and your staff has attempted to
make corrections to improve the condition. Additionally, I see the sand truck out
most mornings sanding the area. While this is a help, there are many times at
night and weekends when the roadway is icy. I am concerned for traffic safety
in this area. I am also concerned for my family's safety as we exit our driveway,
proceeding up the hill. It's often necessary to drive into the opposite lane to
avoid the ice build-up.
Even in non-freezing temperatures, in heavy rains, the water cascades across the
roadway at this point. I still maintain a culvert is needed to keep the water on
the other side of the roadway.
Thank you for you past, and future help with this issue. I believe it to be an issue
that needs to be addressed as it's a hazardous condition that jeopardizes
motorist's safety.
~inc rely,
