Lee County accepts private road into maintenance, sets new speed limits on two roads
Summary
The commission accepted Lee Road 2071 into county maintenance with a condition that it is ineligible for paving for five years and set a 25 mph speed limit; the commission also posted a 30 mph limit for a portion of Lee Road 179 based on traffic counts.
Highway staff told the commission that Lee Road 2071 is a privately unpaved subdivision road (created 1999) about 0.75 mile long that serves roughly 32 lots. Staff noted they had obtained right of way for maintenance and recommended the county accept the road into its maintenance system but that, per county policy, it would not be eligible for paving for at least five years after acceptance. A commissioner moved to accept the road and set a 25 mph speed limit for its residential stretch; the motion passed.
Separately, staff described a posted portion of Lee Road 179 (approximately 0.9 mile, with both paved and dirt segments) and presented traffic-counter data recommending a 30 mph limit for the portion maintained by the county. Commissioners voted to set the speed at 30 mph. The commission's votes were recorded by voice; exact tallies were not provided in the transcript.
