The Town of Neepawa has submitted an application for 水果视频 Infrastructure and Transportation鈥檚 Grant-in-Aid program.
Town administration have identified two projects that are funding priorities. Mayor Adrian de Groot said the first request is for assistance with dust control on Park Lake Road. The dirt road is 1220 metres long and is 5.5 metres wide.
The second request is also for Park Lake Road, but is focused on reconstruction, as the town would like to improve a 300 metre portion that鈥檚 notorious for bad frost boils. De Groot said the plan is to remove all the poor base materials and correct the drainage issues with a superior design with improved drainage options.
鈥淧ark Lake Road comes under the province鈥檚 guidelines for grant in aid. It鈥檚 a fairly heavily used road and anyone who has travelled along that road, especially in the spring time, will notice that there鈥檚 lots of boggy, soft areas there,鈥� said de Groot. 鈥淪o part of our request is for support for reconstruction. To get proper drainage in there so that we don鈥檛 have that problem.鈥�
The projected cost of the frost boil reconstruction is estimated at $38,210.00, while the price tag for the dust control chemicals are $3,774.38. If 水果视频 Infrastructure and Transportation approves the funding requests, it will cover 50 per cent of those costs.
