Council, on the other hand, opted to investigate further.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The closure of a seasonally maintained road in Port Sydney did not sit well with area residents, despite the headache that road has been causing for public works staff at Town Hall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re dealing with 150 metres of road that goes straight down a bald rock, that\u2019s the issue,\u201d said Town Director of Operations and Protective Services Steve Hernen. \u201cWith the weather patterns we\u2019re seeing today, we just can\u2019t keep gravel on that road.\u201d He said every time it rains complaints start pouring in.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>You could go down and find truck loads [of gravel] in the fields and that\u2019s the battle we\u2019re up against. We can go back to seasonally maintained and try and maintain it that way but every time it rains, I know we\u2019ll get a dozen or fifteen calls saying \u2018when are you getting down here to fix this road\u2019 and unfortunately because it is seasonally maintained it\u2019s not high on our priority list, which just means the calls keep multiplying. <cite>Steve Hernen<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hernen advised that to bring that road to proper standards it would cost approximately $400,000. \u201cIf you really want to fix this road that rock has got to be dealt with, the ditching has got to be dealt with and a proper base has got to be put in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>His recommendation to close that road entirely, while approved by the Town\u2019s General Committee, did not make it past Huntsville Council\u2019s August 28 meeting, held in Port Sydney. At that meeting, three residents spoke against the closure, noting it would cost residents more time and money to use another route, add at least another 11 kilometres to their route one-way, and create a bigger carbon footprint as a result of more vehicle emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people think that climate change is a Chinese hoax and I\u2019m not one of them,\u201d said Port Sydney resident Howie Crockford, who has two farms in the area. \u201cI believe that climate change is real. When you look at the number and frequency of torrential rains that we\u2019ve had this summer \u2013 unprecedented in my lifetime \u2013 it\u2019s hard to argue otherwise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Crockford said the road has fallen into a state of disrepair as it had not been graded as usual this past spring. \u201cBy mid-July the hill was impassible,\u201d said Crockford, who also suggested that a $400,000 estimate to fix the road is overpriced and ventured that it could be done for as little as $8,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve heard a figure of $400,000 mentioned to fix the hill. Believe me, if it\u2019s going to cost that much I\u2019d be the first one to say don\u2019t do it and save money. However, I\u2019ve talked to a local contractor a couple of times, and I won\u2019t mention his name, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s appropriate. But he builds roads, he builds good roads, and he\u2019s assured me, Hughes Road, he could put the road back in shape with a pitch system that would not wash out every time it rains\u2026 and he assures me that he could do that for $8,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hernen said he\u2019d be happy to meet with the contractor. \u201cIf they can fix it for $8,000, then there are quite a few roads we can put him on,\u201d said Hernen. \u201cI\u2019d be happy to meet with somebody if they\u2019ve got an $8,000 solution that they think would work on that\u2026 but what we looked at is the amount of time and effort we\u2019re trying to put into this piece of hill, which is a nightmare hill,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In the end council, with much lobbying from Port Sydney and Utterson area councillors Det Schumacher and Jason FitzGerald, agreed to do a site inspection of Hughes Road and asked that staff meet with Howie Crockford to see if there might be a cheaper wayt to fix the road in order to maintain proper ditches and accommodate runoff. They also agreed to designate the road back to a seasonally maintained road, which according to Hernen would mean filling it with gravel, once more, at least until the next rain storm as it is impassible in its current state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
