It is difficult for me to comprehend the incredible level of stupidity or outright incompetence that accompanied the planning and design of our new Chilkoot Lake Road. They have taken what was once a notoriously pot holey but useable road and turned it into a death trap for the unwary traveler. The road top is too narrow for buses or RVs to pass safely, there are no shoulders that one can use to avoid such traffic, and there are now sheer drop offs just inches from the blacktop that will easily overturn a vehicle if and when they get too close to the edge. As I surveyed the new construction this morning all I could do was shake my head at the monumental disaster this has become and how poorly it serves the purpose for which it was designed as well as the needs of this community.
