Maintenance by west Lincoln crew after emails and blog postings

It’s a long road trying to get officials from 2 municipalities to clear debris from the VanBuuren municipal drain.

One part of the drain is located downstream in Grimsby. The other is upstream in west Lincoln with an undersized culvert in the middle backing up the water.

Many emails have been sent and received. Some have been answered, some not.

On July 16, 2013 we finally had some evidence that West Lincoln does maintenance. They showed up in my neighbour’s yard with machinery. They cut the grass.The Dump truck delivered some pond rock that was put into 3 piles in their yard.Then the Backhoe was parked over night in their yard.

I sure hope that it wasn’t leaking any diesel fuel this time.

 

On the second day the crew repaired the side of the bank that was caved in. They dug out the cave in and installed pond rock.

I guess they would only install the rock after the cave in happened and all our yards flooded. Ha, ha, who could have known this would happen, nudge, nudge, wink, wink?

Obviously the new VanBuuren drain extension was not properly configured and without the drain lined with rock and a program of maintenance there will continue to be flooding.

Officials should know this right, especially since they have seen the flooding pictures on this site.

Maybe that’s the idea. They must come back to do maintenance on this creation of theirs. As you can see they cut a lot of grass. Why did they not cut it in the ditch!

How much did it cost for the excavation of our neighbours properties and install culverts 500 foot long linked together. And then come back later to install a metal culvert over top of the undersized cement one. Hiding the real size.

How much did it cost to dig up the road and install 2 catch basins on each side of the road?

How much did it cost to have police on hand for the two weeks it took to enforce the ludicrousness of the wishes of the Township of West Lincoln to put the water from road side ditches threw yards, instead of where it should go, down the roadside? 

How much did it cost to battle our neighbor in court?

How much did it cost to plan all this that we the residences did not want?

And now how much will it cost to maintain.
