Re: “Trashed roundabout a burden on taxpayers,” Letters, The Leader, March 20.
Let’s see… what is wrong with this picture (at right)?
Unless that is a tandem load of early letters headed to the North Pole, it is most certainly not a mail truck making its way around the roundabout at 108 Avenue and 158 Street. If that is a small delivery truck, I’d hate to see what “large” would look like.
This is not a truck route, and when used as one, what can be expected? Repeated costs of repair.
Many of these trucks are racing to be next in line for highway expansion loads as well, or to miss “something” on the freeway – like a weigh scale perhaps?
Did I mention that an elementary school is just a block away and the children cross this street?
I went through the roundabout early this morning and again found one side trashed with large truck tire prints gouged deeply in the dirt of the centre, on the north side.
