Board praises crews as gravel roads show few complaints after mild winter
Summary
Board members and staff credited favorable weather and county crews for good gravel-road conditions this spring and discussed ongoing maintenance near active construction sites.
Board members said they had received few complaints about gravel roads this spring and credited county crews and favorable winter conditions for the improvement.
Chair Don Swinker noted he had not received negative calls about gravel roads—an unusual absence of complaints—and board members agreed weather and crew work both contributed. One supervisor urged staff to pass appreciation to road crews and landowners assisting with roadside maintenance.
County Engineer Jaden Shekel cautioned that some roads near active projects—specifically near the Channelbrook Bridge embankment and haul routes on 82nd Avenue—need daily monitoring and temporary rock placement. He described ongoing checks and spot maintenance to keep haul routes passable during the earthwork phase.
The board offered thanks to crews and landowners; no formal action was taken beyond routine project oversight.
