Residents say county left some River Road streets off maintenance list
Summary
Neighbors told the association the county never took certain River Road and Santa Clara 'local access' roads into its maintenance system decades ago, leaving homeowners responsible for upkeep; the board is pressing commissioners to revisit the designation.
At the meeting the chair (identified only by role in the transcript) described an ongoing effort to persuade county commissioners to accept a set of "local access" roads in River Road and Santa Clara into the county-maintained road system. "There is this random subset of roads in River Road in Santa Clara that the county did not maintain," the chair said, adding that homeowners are left to shoulder the cost.
The chair said the association wrote a letter to county commissioners urging them to take responsibility for those roads and disputed a recent staff presentation that characterized the neighborhood streets as substandard. "We know the roads aren't substandard," the chair said, arguing the streets appear comparable to county-maintained roads. The board plans continued outreach to commissioners, including follow-up at a work session the chair said the county held on the issue.
