Current Progress:

  • Posted roads, set to be in effect on Monday, February 26th, 2024 and run through Monday, May 6th, 2024
  • Stockpiled approximately 200-300 tons of 1.5” stone in anticipation of mud season.
  • Streamlined the application process for obtaining a permit to travel on a town posted road.

Upcoming Plans:

  • Cuffing off ruts and ridges to smooth the 3/8” stone and washed sand (free of silt or mica) that is currently being distributed.
  • Promptly filling mud holes and promptly addressing any other issues that arise.
  • Employing the York rake to shift dirt and rocks, aiding in the drying process of the roads.
  • Ensuring roads remain accessible for emergency vehicles.
