What goes up must come down. This fundamental law of nature is learned by all at a very young age and remains a constant throughout our lives. It even applies to the mighty works of mankind. Be it concrete and steel or bread and butter, each and every thing we can conceive of and construct will, at some point in time, outlive its usefulness and perish from this earth.

And so, it has come upon us that we should now consider the fate of the McGrath Highway. Should it be refurbished as it stands? Put to ground level, or even below? A lot of differing opinions and ideas are being floated right now. Much discussion and planning will ensue, as it should, before a definite plan is adopted and put into motion.

One thing is certain, a change is bound to come and we hope for results that will make us all a little safer and a bit happier when we look upon the area where the present structure will have once stood.

Let us proceed with confidence that what is to come will represent a step forward, that we will have learned from the past and project that wisdom into the future. Such is the way of progress. It is how we better ourselves, and our community, as we travel through our lives.

All things must pass.
