Icy roads a disgrace


Dear Editor:

While driving south on the Island Road out on the Island east of Port Perry, there were a many cars following a snowplow. I joined the lineup as the roads were icy. Once we came to 7A, all the ice was gone, and there was just nice black asphalt covering on 7A. I proceeded east on 7A and then turned onto Simcoe St. to go south to Oshawa. The roads were pure ice with blowing snow and no plows to be seen.

When I reached the ridges, I slowed down, as there was pure ice all the way down to the black subway tunnel. I then saw two tow trucks, and a gray van upside down in the right ditch. An ambulance was coming as I left the icy hill. If this person died, I would be first to testify on the family's behalf. Can't the works department get on the ball and start sanding sooner?

The work on the roads this winter and winters past is a disgrace. Whoever is in charge should be kicked to the curb. Show some
pride in your work.
