Public Works Update
Public Works Director Mike Casper gave an update on existing projects and upcoming work. North Crescent (CR 177) was paved. It is ready to be striped. The striping company had issues with its equipment breaking down. Weather permitting, they should continue striping this week. Gravel has been hauled up Indian Canyon for a Forest Service project. Calls have been received about the steel bridge on Antelope Road (CR 27) that needs to be replaced. Signs restricting weight can be installed. Director Casper will call industry companies so the bridge can be avoided. The parties are concerned about the integrity of the bridge. The failure on East River Road (CR 79) will be repaired this week. It is warranty work, and the county will provide flaggers. They will be starting the Boy's Ranch Road project.
