The road, which leads to Lake Huron and about a dozen Bayfield residences, started collapsing at about 6 a.m. on April 5. Since that time it has dropped about four feet. The Roads Departtnent has dumped gravel on the sinking portion and the road was opened, allowing fuel oil trucks to make deliveries and access for other vehicles. Mr. Johnston said the gravel was heaped up to clearly signify only one lane is open for use. The reeve asked members of council whether they felt a study is necessary to determine the cause of the drop. The Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication (MTC) has informed the reeve they will fund the study 50 per cent. "We have to engage a firm. No one can give us a solid answer on why the road col- lapsed," said Councilor Jim Quick. He moved council receive estimates from ap- propriate engineering firms to study the road's sinking and remedies. Other coun- cillors agreed a study is needed. Council also asked the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority that the village be considered in the authority's budget for an erosion study at the bottom of the sinking bank.
