‘Swiss cheese’

Dear Editor:

The section of Colborne Street between Gerrie Road and Beatty Line North has more holes than Swiss cheese. 

The township does an amazing job of filling these potholes, but these patches don’t last. This means that drivers have to be on a constant alert to avoid blowing their tires or damaging the suspension of their cars. As this portion of Colborne Street is not lit, avoiding these potholes is even harder at night.

I moved to Elora just over five years ago and this situation is getting progressively worse. This winter some of these potholes were so close together that it was impossible to avoid them unless you drove with two wheels on the shoulder.

Isn’t it about time the township repaved Colborne Street?
