Telluride-area resident offers to pay for summer repairs on Dave Wood Road
Summary
A resident representing the San Juan Ranch subdivision told county commissioners May 28 the neighborhood's contractor could perform summer road repairs at the owners' expense to reduce potholes and improve safety; county manager offered to follow up after the meeting.
A resident of San Juan Ranch told San Miguel County commissioners May 28 that the subdivision pays for winter maintenance and that the owners would like to hire their contractor, Switchback, to perform summer repairs on Dave Wood Road (also referred to as Z60/Z59) at the subdivision's expense to address potholes and safety concerns.
Why it matters: Local road condition and maintenance responsibilities affect resident safety and county maintenance budgets. The subdivision suggested privately funded summer repairs would reduce county burdens and keep roads safer between county maintenance cycles.
What the speaker said: Brady Meyer identified himself as a member of the San Juan Ranch development and asked whether privately paid summer repairs could proceed when county crews fall behind. "We'd like to personally pay for Switchback to fix the roads so that it just takes the burden off of you all, and we can actually keep the roads safe," Meyer said.
What the county said: County Manager Mike Bordigan offered to take the resident's contact information and to follow up with Meyer after the meeting to discuss options and any permitting or right-of-way rules that might apply.
Next steps: Manager Bordigan offered to meet with the resident after the meeting and discuss coordination and any local permitting or county procedures required before private contractors work on county roads.
