When it comes to getting #backtobasics with priorities for spending taxpayer money, infrastructure, especially roads, is at the top of most Islanders’ list. That’s why it upsets me that there are still roads littered with potholes – and it’s July. Not only to bad roads cause damage to cars, but they impact tourism, they influence […]
Beach Parking at North Rustico Harbour Blocking Traffic
People park at the North Rustico Harbour, especially on Breakwater Road, to get access to the beach (free). The road narrows down to one lane, is sometimes blocked. This causes problems for locals in accessing their property, and there are many times where a fire truck or ambulance may not be able to get through […]
New Transit to Cavendish and Area!
One of the biggest concerns of employers in District 18 Rustico-Emerald is the ability to get enough employees during the tourist season. One reason is that people are available to work, but don’t have the ability to get to where they are needed in New Glagsow, North Rustico, Cavendish and Stanley Bridge. It is great […]
Community on Driver’s License
Recently I was speaking with some constituents in Rusticoville that were wondering why their PEI drivers license shows their community as Anglo Rustico. I contacted the Department of Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy and they quickly got back to me with the cause and a resolution to the issue. Mailing addresses are derived by the postal […]
Rusticoville not used on drivers licenses
It seems that the community of Rusticoville is no longer recognized by the Department of Transportation (and perhaps the provincial government as a whole) when drivers licenses are issued. Instead the community of Anglo Rustico is used. This is a concern for the residents of the community of Rusticoville. Note that Google Maps recognizes this […]
30 km/hr speed limit needed on Rte 13 through Hunter River
Please reduce the speed limit to 30 km/hr through village of Hunter River, north along Rte 13 from the corner of Rte 2 until up past Karla’s Country Villas. When motorists turn North off of Rte 2 onto Rte 13 in Hunter River they are in a 50 km/hr zone already, and must slow significantly to make […]
Crushed asphalt in cemetery, ditches and yards on Rte 2 in Springfield
Much of the crushed asphalt that was put on the shoulders of Rte 2 in Springfield in summer 2015 has been pushed into the ditches, people’s yards, and the Summerfield United Church Cemetery. Residents and the caretaker of the cemetery are asking what sort of help can be provided by the government to clean this up.
Need street light at corner of Taylor Rd and Rattenbury Rd
This has been raised in the community (usually with the Community Center AGM) over the last four years. The location for the light would be where the Taylor Road intersects the Rattenbury Road. The basis of the ask is to provide light in our downtown and a safety item for seniors coming out of evening […]
Clay roads in bad condition in spring
There are several clay roads that are in rough condition during the spring thaw each year (e.g. Centre Road, Hazel Grove Rd, Junction Rd – Rte 227 south of Fredericton Station Rd). In particular roads that are traveled by school buses need additional work to ensure they are passable without undue stress on buses (e.g. […]
Rte 239 – Civic number conflict – rename to St Patrick’s Road South
The name of St. Patrick’s Road was used for decades on the sign at Rte 2 just west of Hunter River, but four years ago they changed it to Rte 239. As it ends up the province had made a mistake because further down on Rte 239 is another section called “St. Patrick’s Road” and there […]
