Dear Editor:
I have been biting my tongue for some time. The construction on Mill Street from Princess to Metcalfe street in Elora.
Over the summer it’s been dug up at least 25 times, causing a real disruption to local business.
I go to the convenience store to buy lotto tickets, get water and a few other things. Many times I could not go there because of construction. I am disabled and it’s really hard for me to walk on very uneven ground.
I know of two business that had to sell out. The restaurants and local businesses have to suffer dearly over it. The citizens of Elora have had to put up with a lot of construction in downtown Elora.
I was just down there on Nov. 2 to get lotto tickets and guess what? They’re digging up the street again.
It’s November now, winter can come any time. If it does who’s on the hook for a big delay? The citizens of Elora paying there property taxes are getting nothing for it.
When will the township start fixing side streets and fix Colborne Street once and for all? I am sick of banging my truck up and down it over pothole after pothole.
It’s time to spend money fixing streets in town.
Gery Thomson,
Elora
