Waiting on quote for ditching between McBride Rd and Lindsay Rd. A culvert just past Deal Rd is in need of minor repairs
5002-Leigh Williams resolved the beaver issue. 2 culverts have been purged, one replaced between Debec and Route 540. Bridge beyond John Carsons needs work on the approach on both sides. Still working on the issue across from the Debec firehall. Bridge past Debec near Route 540 had some lumber stolen off it. The snowmobile club is taking care of replacing it. 2 bridges that were used for the Rally need maintenance and upgrading. No action is being taken at this time.
