This year we completed the remainder of the work to be done to the Gage Irving road. Now we have switched to what is being referred to as a multiyear plan to maintain our roads. Each year we will continue to ask for a volunteer road committee that will walk the roads, establish a specific list for repairs and put those items in the form of a budget recommendation to the board to be voted on by the membership. Whit Tree Service has trimmed all right of way trees back 5 feet from the roads. Work can progress on the upper crossing when there is no water in the stream. This will be done between September 1 and November 15, 2013. The plan is to remove dirt, debris, base and cracked concrete and replace as necessary.
