PAVING HIGH TRAFFIC
GRAVEL ROADS
(With Average Daily Traffic Over 400)
Today’s Presentation
• Several years ago, the county paved high traffic gravel roads on a fairly regular basis
• This presentation describes how we are planning to renew this procedure
• The program differs from the LID and CAPP processes
• LID and CAPP programs are paid with full or partial funding from adjacent landowners and are used to pave low traffic gravel roads
• The following program is designed as a process for paving high traffic gravel roads with county funds
• Commissioner input is desired
Purpose of the Program
• Certain gravel roads in the county have high traffic counts and high maintenance costs
• Many of our road maintenance service requests come from high traffic gravel roads
• Over time, paving these roads will save tax dollars, improve safety, and reduce complaints
• This program prioritizes which roads should be paved and in what order they should be paved
Process and Criteria
• This process will establish an ongoing list to provide the public with some resolution to the question: “When will my road be paved?”
• Public meetings and surveys will be conducted to assure there is support from a majority of the adjacent residents before proceeding
• All of the roads identified have traffic counts over 400 ADT which is the national standard set by ASHTO to designate very low volume roads
• The list of eligible roads will change over time as traffic increases on roads throughout the county
