Brief description of the project: What is your proposed project? Please describe it.

The current dumpster facility is not easily used by many memers of the community. Presently, in order to put trash into the dumpster one must hoist a heavy container up to shoulder level, and then throw it into the dumpster.?? This is difficult for many, especially our senior citizens, women and any person of a small stature.

We propose constructing a raised ramp 18X40X4 which will allow access by either backing a vehicle to the dumpster or walking up and disposing of trash at waist high level.

Who, why and approximately how many people in our community will benefit from completion of this project?

All of the citizens of Trapper Creek will benefit from this improvement, especially senior citizens, women and any person of small stature.?? It will no longer be necessary to hoist a container of trash above body height to put it the dumpster.

Is there evidence of public support for this project? If so, please attach.

A concern about this was raised at a recent community council meeting by a senior citizen and options were discussed at that time, with no voices heard opposing a raised ramp.?? The discussion revolved around who might best solve this problem.?? MSB is unwilling to provide the upgrade.

Project Budget: Please provide project budget figures. Provide supporting documentation.

Gravel, 106 yards X $4.00 per yard?????????????????????????? ?????? $425.00
