County commissioners flag badly damaged roads, express worry about school bus routes
Summary
Vernon County officials heard reports that local roads need urgent repairs after spring storms, with a Lake Township resident saying "cars can barely drive down" and commissioners raising bus-route safety on 1900 and 2400 roads for Northeast Vernon County Schools.
Presiding Commissioner Joe Wilson and fellow commissioners were briefed on local road conditions during the Vernon County Commission's Oct. 28 adjourned meeting.
Road and Bridge Foreman Mike Reasoner called on the commission to report on road and bridge issues, prompting discussion of multiple problem stretches. Commissioner John Shorten said he received a call from Francis Jones about a road in Lake Township that was "in much need of repair" and that "cars can barely drive down," signaling a potential public-safety and access concern for that area. Northern Commissioner Cindy Thompson separately reported contacting Badger Township on behalf of Northeast Vernon County Schools about the condition of 1900 Road and 2400 Road and the effect on bus routes.
The commissioners did not record any motions or votes on specific repairs during the meeting; the discussion served to flag priorities for Road and Bridge staff. No timelines or funding amounts for repairs were specified in the record.
Ending: The commission left the matters on the agenda for follow-up by Road and Bridge personnel; the minutes do not list a next step or date for a repair schedule.
