WEST MONTROSE COVERED BRIDGE PUBLIC NOTICE

Last Thursday's Elmira Independent has a Public Notice of a PIC (Public Information Centre) regarding the covered bridge scheduled for 5:30-7:30 pm., February 12, 2013 at Woolwich Township Council chambers. There will be a formal presentation from 6:30-7:30 pm.. This PIC is in regards to proposed construction and management of the bridge for its' long term viability.

It is my opinion that the covered bridge is the underpinning regarding opposition to the Capitol Paving nearby proposed gravel pit. Anything sustaining the bridge is good for both the residents and the environment. The OMB also in their infinite weirdness are more likely to deny the gravel pit based on the presence of the bridge than upon the accumulative negative effects to the heritage Grand River caused by ever growing gravel pits along its' banks. Gravel actually is a filter and improves the health of rivers. Constantly removing it from all our local river banks is simply theft of a public good for private benefit. Our politicians have long passed laws to help the greedy elite, at the expense of the public.
