Commission approves transfer of Upper Superior Road to Town of Superior after mayor pledges local stewardship

Public works director Gene Ligurski told the commission the town of Superior requested that Sweetwater County transfer maintenance responsibility for County Road 87 (Upper Superior Road). Ligurski said the road is a dead‑end route that adds county maintenance miles and that the town’s expressed willingness to accept ownership made the transfer a practical option.

Mayor Stan Wolf of Superior addressed the board and described efforts to improve the town and its tourism assets, saying the town has been maintaining the road and that "the road will get maintained as long as I'm mayor." Commissioners discussed late public contacts opposed to the transfer and urged residents to raise concerns at the town council meeting; after debate the board approved the resolution and quick‑claim deed offer to the town, noting Superior must formally accept the transfer.
