LETTER: Reader concerned about condition of roads, public spaces

BurlingtonToday welcomes letters to the editor at b[email protected]. Please include your daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter was received from a local reader concerned about the state of local roads and public spaces.

It's time to take care of our city. Many important roads are too bad to ride on, such as Mainway, North Service Road, Walkers Line - simply awful. 

Also city hall should consider a pilot project to remove drain wells from the roadways to better locations. It causes two big problems: when people are avoiding them it creates dangerous situations of possible collisions, and also if you go over them, it kills your vehicle's suspension. 

There is another project that should be considered, making Burlington a clean city. 

Our neighbourhoods and parks have become full of garbage of different origins, turning our city unrecognizable since 2012, when I remember it as nice and clean.

M. Tihonov, Burlington
