Ospika needs to be done from 5th all the way up to Domano.

I guess the Hart will keep all of the pot holes for a few more years.

A drop in a bucket, so enjoy the banging and crashing

And don't be fooled: The metres quoted are lane metres, meaning a two lane stretch of 110m is actually only 55 metres.

Abominable Croft Road is not on the list, again.

This is where the baloney hits the road.

You cant even drive over the intersection of Gladstone and Domano by the store. Most cars drive into the opposing lane to avoid vehicular carnage.

Hey Bert, I don't think city hall knows that the Hart even exists. After all when a person has to drive 60km to buy socks or underwear, thats questionable? I guess the dollar stores will have to supply. Oh pardon me dollar or more, or two and a half dollar, more like More Than A Dollar they should be called. Damn Shame!

These roads are war torn, I bet Iraq has better roads. I would never buy a small car for the roads in this town! They say if you see a pot-hole give them a call. The city needs to dig in that pot of gold they've got there, put them in a little firefly and drive EVERY single road in PG and record it themselves! Quit being so lazy and do the job you've been elected to do.

I recollect the city fixing Ospika last year. No guarantees on repairs?

When they put it in metres is sounds like a lot, but in actual fact it is about 6 miles of paving at best. If what Diplomat says is true, then it is even less.

Much like the increase in gas last week-end. It went up 6 cents per litre. This doesnt sound to bad, however if you convert it to gallons, it is an increase of about 26 cents per gallon, which is criminal.

The metric system has a way of making things look a lot better than they actually are. We should have never changed. The Americans didnt and they seem to be doing fine. (Except for the recession)
