Board discusses mountain road flooding, liability and temporary concrete-block closures
Summary
Facing standing water and unclear road boundaries on a mountain road, the board discussed surveys, liability, temporary closures to ATV traffic and asked staff to obtain quotes for concrete blocks and culverts to define and protect the roadbed.
Board members reviewed photos and reports showing standing water and bog conditions on a town road near the arena and debated options to protect the right-of-way. Several members said the water and bog make vehicle access unsafe and flagged a potential liability; the board discussed temporary closures to ATV traffic and the need for a survey to re-establish road stakes before major work.
Members recommended placing waste concrete blocks and a culvert as a temporary hardened crossing if feasible; the board asked staff to get quotes for about 20 concrete blocks and to return with cost and delivery options. The board also discussed that if people drive around temporary closures onto adjacent private property, homeowners would need to pursue trespass enforcement.
