Monday at a meeting of North Battleford city council, Greg Lightfoot raised the issue of the condition of Territorial Drive between Douglas and Scott Drive, which is causing problems for drivers trying to stay on the main road in winter weather. It’s not the first time the subject has come up.

Lightfoot described “that infamous curve – we’ve got some dips along there again along the side.”

Lightfoot said he noticed a couple of tracks going into the ditch and suggested widening the pavement on that corner going east so there is a lip going off the pavement. There was also an area just before Douglas, which he identified as well.

“Maybe there’s a permanent fix we can do in a couple of those places,” said Lightfoot.

Mayor Ian Hamilton has pledged the issue will be looked at.
