Money for bridge could be better spent

I was reading in your paper that the elder on the Shelley reserve (north side) wants a bridge across the river. He said it would provide an escape in an emergency.

I was reading in your paper that the elder on the Shelley reserve (north side) wants a bridge across the river. He said it would provide an escape in an emergency.

All well and good, but did he forget the right-of-way road on the power line? This road comes out by the bridge at Salmon Valley. I know it's there because I've been through there.

Now about that bridge. It would cost millions to build and only provide access to Shelley reserve (south side). Instead of spending on a bridge, how about paving all the road to Shelley and their streets and driveways? You could lose a wheel there.

Oh, while they are at it, fix the back road to Salmon Valley.

A bridge would make a nice short cut to that new gas station on the south side.
