Poor local highway conditions unacceptable

I am a service provider that takes me on the highway quite frequently. Since Saturday the 31st, I've taken two trips to Hixon, three to Fraser Lake, one to Ft St. James and one to Burns Lake.

It is like there is a magic gate at both Stone Creek and Bednesti. The highways to those points are deplorable and Walla at these points the highway becomes completely winter conditions acceptable. The odd snow plow seen on the PG side is kind of sort of clearing roads at best. One that I was following was dropping sand on the center line but without the spreader going. Just marking the center line, that's it. What's the point of that? There is absolutely no sand on any straight stretches with a little on the corners only.

On Wednesday there were three vehicles upside down between Bednesti and Beaverly that were not there earlier in the day. It is time for a shakeup at the PG YRB branch.

If other jurisdictions can do it, so can you. No excuses.
