Citizens for Sustainable PRD and Roads<\/a>. He wants the county to do more to maintain the roads.<\/p>\n\u201cThis year, indeed, they\u2019ve raised about $150,000 \u2014 slightly over \u2014 for maintenance, and we haven\u2019t seen any maintenance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The county\u2019s role is to inspect, assess, prepare the cost estimates and work as a contractor for the PRD, county spokesperson Donna Durckel said.<\/p>\n
The road needed roughly $6 million in repairs, including fixing the culverts and potholes. The current assessment fee is not enough to cover the repair costs, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe county is prohibited by law from expending public road funds (gas tax etc.) for the repair or maintenance of private roads which are not part of the county-managed road system,\u201d Durckel said.<\/p>\n
At the Board of Supervisors meeting on June 24, supervisors proposed a special tax on the November ballot to pay for the repairs and keep the PRD viable for the long term.<\/p>\n
Shrewsbury agrees that the assessment fee should be raised, but said the county is rushing to put a special tax on the ballot to fill its coffers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe raise the money. Once we\u2019ve raised it, it\u2019s theirs,\u201d he said. \u201cThey can do with it as they please. And they have not done anything really for many years in terms of maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n
If voters in the PRD don\u2019t pass the special tax, Durckel said the county may seek to dissolve the PRD. If that happens, homeowners would be responsible for maintaining their own road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday, half a dozen mostly retired residents on Sage Road spent their mornings filling potholes.
