The ice is gone, when only a week ago there was still skating!

I went for a walk around the lake today and the ice was gone! It was so very nice. Granted, I like ice skating and hockey as much as the next non-Canadian does, but when I can take my dogs and stroll around the lake in shorts and a T shirt a week after people were ice skating, I LOVE it! This means Spring is here and Summer’s not far behind! Then a trip to Stage Coach park with the kids and later, burgers on the Bar B Q and this has been a good day.

Ice skating on the lake in mid March?

admin — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:58:18 +0000

I drove by the lake today, on yet another day well above freezing with the lake opening up and what ice that was left was marked with lots of puddles. The edge by the road where the ice fishermen usually are was wide open. Yet, out in the middle of the lake were 2 ice skaters skating around along with some ice fishermen on the far side.

Now, I understand the desire to stay out and skate and play, but with the ice as questionable as it is, is it really wise to take that risk? I’m usually one who is fine if people risk themselves, but in a situation like this, if for some reason they broke through the ice, they’d be risking the ives of many other people who would be coming to rescue them.

The “Damn” Bridge.

So what ever happened to the “Damn” Bridge that was SOO convenient, yet a small handful of people found so offending that they protested so loudly as to actually have it removed! They said a couple things about it.

1. That it wasn’t ADA approved because the ramp was too steep.

2. That it was ugly.

First of all, none of the rest of the path around the lake is ADA approved, so why complain about one small section? Why not try to make the rest of the path approved. At least a wheelchair COULD have used the ramp even thought they couldn’t have used any other part of the path around the lake. And now that section is definitely NOT ADA approved.

Secondly, the only time you could really see the bridge was when you were driving around the north side of the damn and then it was only for about 4 seconds while driving around a curve that you should have been watching the road around anyway!

The least they could have done was to wait for a replacement bridge BEFORE making them tear it down. We only got to use the ramp a couple times before it got torn down, but boy did we like it! especially with a jogging stroller and with kids, the ramp was much easier, better and safer than the stairs.

My question to our town is not only when will the bridge be back, but when will there be another bridge on the other side of the damn?
