Dear Editor:
RE: ‘Treacherous Road’ and Save the squirrels, June 13.
As the subdivision by Colborne develops, Colborne street is to be realigned and upgraded, so therefore it is better for the township to simply do cold patches to keep costs down.
My understanding is the developer is paying for replacement of this road. We will have to endure this road until then.
Most all towns and cities are being overrun by squirrels in the last few years. Why? Is it climate change, a shortage of predators, or people feeding them more? But the end result, is more dead squirrels on the roads, and more turkey buzzards in the skies over Fergus (they are scavengers) looking for quick meals, and crows are also scavengers, so I’m not sure our township does all the clean up.
It is very good to see young students writing letters to the editor, maybe a little more research on the township website is also helpful.
Paul Roberts,
Fergus
