IMPORTANT TOWN HALL MEETING

Town of Grand Coulee Newsletter Invitation

 

Dear Citizens of Grand Coulee

As you may recall, our town has embarked on a thorough review of our road system in November & December 2023. The assessment, conducted by Associated Engineers, ( see the attachment) revealed crucial insights into the condition of our roads. It was no surprise to find that the road base lacks the necessary support for maintaining surfacing, largely due to its water-absorbing properties, leading to issues like heaving and caving. Moreover, the geotechnical analysis indicated elevated moisture levels in certain areas, further confirming our challenges. Some areas were good others have issues that need attention sooner than later.  

We understand the significance of this matter to each of you. Therefore, we cordially invite you to join us for a Town Hall Meeting on March 5th, 2024, at 7:00 PM. This gathering will provide an opportunity for you to voice your concerns, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the situation at hand. Your participation is invaluable as we chart the course forward.

While no definitive decisions have been made, it's crucial to acknowledge that we're approaching the construction season for 2024. Hence, there will be ongoing road maintenance this summer, entailing additional costs. Furthermore, we must plan for future repairs and upkeep, regardless of the surfacing material chosen—be it pavement, reclaimed asphalt, or gravel.

Your presence at the meeting will contribute to shaping our collective future and ensuring the longevity of our infrastructure. To assist us in making necessary arrangements, kindly RSVP by replying the office or emailing grandcoulee.cap@sasktel.net.

Let's come together to address these challenges and pave the way for a resilient road network that serves our community for years to come.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
