Worried rail repairs adequate to protect our lakes
Since we broke the story of the poor condition of the Tenmile Lake trestle and speculated on the shape of others, (issue 93, June 22, 2011), we have yet to see any sign of repair or inspection in our area.
Nor have the concerned citizens who tipped us off and have been watching and hoping for signs of repair.
Granted, the Port has told us the system was designed to last another 10-20 years, but that is a very speculative figure and it is obvious, even to a layperson, that the prevalent corrosion makes that statement very ‘iffy’ indeed.
