Municipality of Rhineland reeve, Don Wiebe, is raising a few concerns pinpointed by the Municipality's Public Works Department.
The first has to do with the little blue civic address signs at the end of rural driveways.
"Our Public Works Department is advising us that a number of civic address signs are either missing, bent or knocked over, making them very difficult to read," explained Wiebe.
He is asking property owners to make sure their signs are clearly visible.
"This civic address number, or yard number, are really quite critical. These numbers inform police, ambulances and the fire department where an emergency is located."
Additionally, Wiebe says the Public Works Department is asking those who've placed bales near municipal roadways to clean them up by the end of October.
Meantime, damage sustained to the Border Road, located east of Gretna along the Canada/U.S. boundary, in Spring 2022 is finally getting repaired. Wiebe says the Municipality's flood claim has finally been processed.
"And so, at our last meeting, Council passed a resolution granting the tender for road damages to Diamond Construction and Gravel. This work involved removing some of the dirt and replacing it with rubble. The rubble will protect the road from high flood waters."
He noted however, that due to existing international agreements, the height of the road will not be altered.
