He has appeared from time to time before this Board for the past six years on the road project in progress. Mr. Hunting~ord stated that the school bus drivers and mail carriers said south-end wes worst road i~ their estimation. I I Roy Nordby o~ the community Club objected to the South-end job not being halted. Mer1 Turner said the drainage has given him serious problems at south end from 12 y,ear old culvert that overflows and drains down on his driveway. David Thompson asked why money was put into 1Pordyke road when their roads were ' neglected... named the sharp curve off the portage can~l bridge as a particular hazard. Question of width of right of way was reviewed. 'Engineer Becker stated that the county has only a 40' right of way on part of road. Mr. Thompson felt certain the, have 50'. commissioner O'Meara verified the right of way is 40'. RoY Nordby daid from stronbeck property to their place there is only 10' right of way in spots. Nordby suggested that road be widened 30' each way from center of the existing road. Becker po~ntedout that there are places where there just isn't that much land; and that the rIght of ways take time to acquire. Mr. Thompson said the road has/had been flagged out without right of way. Mrs. Caderc asked if .washed out gravel could be replaced by county on their property. Engineer Becker will look at it. Stan Lybeck said no,one approached him on right of way 5 years ago. Five years ago he was told that road would continue being widened clear to the par~.Flagler is a growing tourist attraction. Trailers with wide ,mirrors are a common conveyance on that road and school bus is poor comparison. Mr. Lybeck said many of the'instances they brought up at the last meeting were not in the minutes. Mr. Kelly said it was riot feasible (impossible) to do the job they ask this year. LybeCk said 5 years ago the road work was supposed to have been done. George Huntingford pointed out to the delegation that since the bridge was built there has been a continuous road program in progress on the island. Jobs don't happen ~ overnite but must be planned over a long term. Mr. Brend, of the PltRK.

DriVeI'D pulling e~en.6v. t1:lI\i1en are not usuUv .~~, and aZ'e bounci to land .in the ditch. Mr. Becker said shou1dwes are in bad shape. The narrowest part (by Thompsons) is 17 ~t. wide with the average 21 ft., which isn't too bad. He said widening the shoulders would not e too much of a problem and when Road damage from winter freeze i. under control they can work on the shoulders. Mr. Lybeck said he felt the ~ee1ing was the whole job had to be done or nothing but tho road shoulder work would be a help as it is a great concern to all. . ..;. I ,'.
