Officials urge state help after commissioners flag poor condition of Highway 30 near county line
Summary
Commissioners discussed hazardous conditions on Highway 30 near the county line and agreed to try contacting state officials and possibly send a signed letter requesting repair or schedule information.
Speaker 2 told the meeting that the stretch of Highway 30 near the county line toward Marsh County is in poor condition and may pose a hazard. "30 is an absolute disaster," Speaker 2 said, adding that the pavement conditions change abruptly at the county line.
Participants discussed past efforts to get state attention, said Rachel would prepare a paving plan, and suggested the commissioners consider sending a signed letter requesting repairs or schedule information from the relevant state office. One speaker suggested contacting "Paul Jim Russell" as a possible state contact to escalate the request.
No formal motion or county appropriation for road repair was made at this meeting; the group agreed to ask staff to identify contacts and consider drafting a letter signed by the commissioners to the state requesting action.
Next steps were to ask Rachel if she had contacts at the state agency and to prepare a letter if the staff could not find an existing schedule for repairs.
