Residents report loose gravel, unfinished lane lines on Sly Park Road; county advised of reporting tools
Summary
A resident raised safety concerns about Sly Park Road after chip-seal work left loose gravel and unpainted lane lines; county staff noted online reporting tools and encouraged use of the maintenance portal for tracking.
A resident speaking during open forum reported that Sly Park Road still has loose gravel and missing lane lines following recent chip-seal work, raising concerns about lane discipline and drainage problems when rains return. The commenter urged crews to return and clear excess chip-seal material from inboard ditches to prevent flow-line issues.
Ken Greenwood, speaking from the Triple Junction area, also noted that Cal Fire inspections under current programs are not adequately identifying fuel-loading and driveway-access problems in some cases. County staff later reminded residents that the Department of Transportation's maintenance portal accepts road maintenance reports and photos so issues can be tracked and routed to the appropriate unit.
The board acknowledged the concerns and the CAO and department staff said residents should use the DOT maintenance reporting tool and the CAO's general feedback email (edccao@edcgov.us) so staff can respond and track fixes.
