Pacific Avenue residents urge Fleming County to adopt unsafe subdivision road; county says upgrades required
Summary
Residents of Pacific Avenue and Park Place Subdivision told the Fiscal Court April 8 that poor road conditions damage vehicles, delay emergency services and threaten school bus routes; county officials said upgrades to subdivision specifications would be required before assuming maintenance.
Property owners from Pacific Avenue and Park Place Subdivision told the Fleming County Fiscal Court during an April 8 public hearing that current road conditions are unsafe, damage vehicles, delay emergency services and may force school buses to stop serving their streets.
County Judge/Executive Sims said the county could adopt Pacific Avenue into the road maintenance system only if the existing asphalt surface is brought up to the required subdivision specifications and inspected. Speakers at the hearing noted an earlier repaving did not lead to county adoption and said there is no cul‑de‑sac area meeting modern subdivision standards. Several residents said they lack funds to complete the required work and asked the court to consider grandfathering the roads or otherwise compromising the restrictions.
The court said it would need a timeline of past Fiscal Court actions and additional review of Park Place Subdivision and Boardwalk Avenue before taking further steps. The transcript does not record any immediate motion adopting the road. The record also does not show a cost estimate or a timetable for improvements; residents requested the court consider alternatives that would allow county maintenance without a full upgrade by property owners.
