Residents press board on paving, county responsibility and narrow roads at Goodyear Lake
Summary
Residents asked the Milford Town Board about paving at Goodyear Lake, County Route 35 and a narrowed Lake Shore Drive; the highway superintendent said CHIPS funding and county responsibility determine paving schedules, and a resident said her road is now about 9½ feet wide.
During the meeting's open floor, residents raised concerns about local road conditions and responsibility for paving. Resident Sean Rogers asked about having his road paved at Goodyear Lake; Highway Superintendent Billy Sutphin told the board paving will proceed when state CHIPS funds become available and work will follow the New York State paving schedule. Resident Scott Gaynor was told County Route 35 paving is the county's responsibility and might be scheduled next year after partial paving this year.
Resident Ruth Carlson told the board the road in front of her house on Lake Shore Drive S "is now 9 ½ feet wide," raising a narrow-road safety concern. The minutes record Superintendent Sutphin agreed to check areas of concern and the board suggested county coordination where roads are under county jurisdiction. No formal directive or funding decision was recorded at this meeting.
