A suggestion for dealing with the potholes

Having recently moved here 10 months ago from Nelson I have noticed a lot of constructive words with no solution listed in the opinion column. Recently, thing most in residents' minds is the pothole situation in the city.

Having recently moved here 10 months ago from Nelson I have noticed a lot of constructive words with no

solution listed in the opinion column.

Recently, thing most in residents' minds is the pothole situation in the city.

Without reinventing the wheel I would propose that we solicit the city for "sand boxes" in strategic positions in our neighborhoods.

The city-provided gravel may be used by the public during icy winter times to create much needed traction and during pothole season as filler to save our

personal suspension.

I have personally witnessed the ingenuity and drive for citizens to find their own solutions to problems.

Not only that but there the willingness to aid a neighbor or friend in time of need.

It's a cheap solution for all involved and the self satisfaction of creating a benefit for those immediately in our reach - our friendly neighbors.
