Quagmire ~ A series of alterations to the ditching/culvert system along Lakeshore Road and the construction of a significant rock pier, have reduced the lake's natural ability to renew itself.
Stagnating sludge and noxious weeds *
What used to be one of a few public accesses to a small, sandy beach on a cove has turned into a stagnant swamp. Lakeside owners vacation steps away from this sixty-six foot road allowance.

The village of Cayuga is located on the Grand River which flows into Lake Erie. Kohler Road/Lakeshore is fifteen minutes from Cayuga.

I agree with you the County have the responsibility to clean up these area, since we do pay taxes out there even if it is a cottage area,we should get the same treatment as everyone else that pay taxes to make sureb that their sorrundings looks nice instead of saying it is not their responsibility to do so, it is time that the County start to assume that it is part of the County and not someone elses job to do so.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the consulting firm contracted by the county to study the lakeshore can identify county properties and provincial properties versus privately owned and recommend working together to clean up. And do this before promoting more tourism.
