Sumner County highway commissioners adopt Ridge Hill Road as county road
Summary
The commission voted unanimously March 3 to add roughly 1,000 feet of Ridge Hill Road (a former city street de-annexed in 2022) to the county road system. Road Superintendent Toby Ellis said he is "not opposed to accepting it as county road again" and staff will coordinate a formal process with CTAS.
The Sumner County Highway Commission voted unanimously March 3 to adopt Ridge Hill Road as a county road, moving the roughly 1,000-foot dead-end segment formerly inside Millersville back into county maintenance.
Chairman Tim Jones moved to accept Ridge Hill Road and Commissioner Terry Wright seconded; the motion passed. Road Superintendent Toby Ellis said he was supportive: "Mr. Ellis says he not opposed to accepting it as county road again." The minutes note the stretch was inside Millersville from 1995 until residents requested de-annexation in 2022 because they were not receiving needed services.
The commission directed staff to work on the acceptance process. Ellis also said he is coordinating with the County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS) to establish a clearer procedure for city–county conversations about roads that fall between jurisdictions. No timetable or budget change was recorded in the minutes.
The decision was recorded as an approved motion; the minutes do not list individual recorded roll-call votes beyond the statement that the motion "passes unanimously."
