Teresa Baugh: Crossing Oakdale Road far too dangerous for young geese

If you want to see the problems at Naraghi Lake, now is the time. There are a lot of concerned folks and mostly those that do not care. I went to the police department, and was told I would receive a call back; that never happened

There are about 100 gosling’s that need to get to food so they are crossing the road; they are going to get hit or cause an accident or possibly someone might swerve to miss them and hit a pedestrian. The traffic moves way too fast for geese and goslings to be crossing the road.

This needs immediate attention. Yesterday I rescued a gosling that was caught in the fence. They are trying to get to food because there is no food within the fenced area.

Teresa Baugh, Modesto
