The R.M. of Moose Jaw No. 161 has moved to restrict the weight of vehicles on Coteau Street West. The most westerly portion of Coteau St. W., about 1/2 mile long, is located in the R.M. of Moose Jaw. To the east, the road retains the same name but is under the jurisdiction of the City of Moose Jaw. The most westerly portion, located in R.M. #161, serves the Valley Ridge subdivision and abuts 24th Avenue S.W. The road surface is commonly known as "thin-membrane surface" or TMS, and cannot withstand heavy truck traffic. Repairs to the road were effected this fall, including hot-mix patching of potholes and a sand- or chip-seal applied to the entire surface. This has led to the road being in reasonable condition, and the move to restrict vehicle weights on it will help to preserve it in that condition. Gross vehicle weights will be restricted to 9 tonnes (9,000 kilograms) or just under 20,000 pounds. Please contact the municipal office for further information. |
