Commissioners hear road complaints; resident says '50 rd is the smoothest it has been in years'
Summary
Road supervisor Joel Elkins raised multiple maintenance concerns including tubes and grading needs; a caller, Dwight Frost, reported that 50 Road is unusually smooth, while commissioners flagged other problem stretches near Montrose and drainage east of Lane Underwoods.
Roadwork and surface conditions were a central operational topic at the Jewell County Commissioners meeting on June 23. Joel Elkins reported efforts to get drainage tubes covered and described multiple trouble spots; the transcript records a citizen call in which Dwight Frost said, "50 rd is the smoothest it has been in years."
Commissioner Ed Duskie asked that two blocks leading up to the railroad tracks in Montrose be graded or have additional rock added. Commissioner Ervin Underwood reported that water crossing the road east of Lane Underwoods is making that stretch very rough. The board also noted equipment support for a new mowing tractor: John Deere's operation center offered to remote in and check error codes at no cost.
