Commission designates no-truck route on Lee Road 250, approves maintenance bids and accepts county portions of Lakes subdivision roads
Summary
The commission approved posting Lee Road 250 as a no-truck route after a highway study showed 21% truck traffic, approved recommended highway maintenance bid awards for FY25/26, and unanimously accepted county-maintenance responsibility for specific road segments in the Lakes Subdivision.
Highway staff presented a June traffic study showing that trucks account for about 21% of traffic on Lee Road 250 between US 280 and Lee Road 379. Staff recommended posting the segment as a no-truck route to prevent cut-through truck traffic; commissioners voted to approve the designation and directed the highway department to post signs.
The highway director then reviewed FY25/26 maintenance bid results and a set of requested extensions. Staff recommended awards where vendors met bid specifications and noted some solicitations drew few responsive bidders; the commission approved the recommended maintenance bids and extensions as presented.
On a longstanding issue in the Lakes Subdivision, staff explained that certain roads were built below county standards in the 1990s and were never accepted for county maintenance, leaving a patchwork where neighboring potholes could be treated differently depending on jurisdiction. After discussion about developer responsibility and practical resident impacts, a motion to accept the county portions of roads adjacent to Lee County residences for maintenance passed unanimously.
Commissioners asked staff to prepare signage for the no-truck designation and to add the newly accepted Lakes-subdivision addresses to maintenance routes.
