Everybody that has purchased property north of the cut KNEW that there was no decent road. They knew there was a dirt track that goes under water and turns to slush at the slightest little rain or even extreme high tide.
If folks up north now want a road then they need to figure out how they are going to "punch" it through, make it weather resistent and maintain it. Obviously this is going to cost a lot of money - money that some of us tax payers don't want frittered away on a project such as this whilst we still have major infrastructure issues in town to deal with.
I agree that all things must progress, but they should progress in a sensible manner.
Town has approx 10,000 people, north has what - 500 maybe.
Why don't we build a few more classrooms for the schools so they can accommodate the kids we have roaming the streets, or maybe we can help the SAGA society build their clinic so we can get the animal population under control.
The road north is not a high priority. If it is to a few small groups - I vote that they figure out how to pay for it, install it and maintain it.
On the security issue: If you choose to purchase outside of the town core you need to take care of your security issues. That means that if you have a home up north and you are worried about security - you need to pay a security guard firm to take care of your investment. There is a neighbourhood watch up north that seems to be quite effective - if you have a home up north you need to join and be active.
There is crime everywhere in town, north has it share, so does south. You don't need a barge or a bridge or a road to go north. You can walk. When we were kids we would go for miles and miles in dorys. Thieves will always find a way - so don't allow yourself to be victim. Protect yourselves and your assets with a little common sense, maybe a fence, perhaps adopt a dog from SAGA. Hire the security firms and put up your neighbourhood watch sign.
