Town Road Report

Traffic study for Bailey Road has started, mowing of road ditches will begin this week providing it doesn’t rain, shoulder patching is complete, and the grader repairs are progressing.

 

D Farrell reported that there is damage to LaRue Fields Lane on the north side (Lots 3 & 4).  There is also a construction road to the west of 2809 LaRue Fields (behind Water Works) giving access to the interstate construction.  The heavy trucks use this road and exit onto LaRue Fields Road to get to County TT. 

 

Discussion/Action re Sylver Ridge, Faber and Alvin Roads  The Viken Annexation has triggered concern that heavy equipment may use Sylver Ridge, Faber and Alvin Roads to access the annexed land.  The board members and D Farrell discussed adding these roads to the town’s Weight Limits Road Ordinance or changing the class of road.  The board’s objective is to protect town roads from excessive use resulting in higher road repair costs.
