Road Update • Join the Potholes Work Party!

We are aware the roads are not optimal right now, especially heading into winter. COVID has taken a toll there, too.

Since we couldn't hold Annual Meetings as usual, we couldn't increase our roads' budget, so we have had to pick and choose projects. This past year, for example, instead of post-winter repairs we had to prioritize funding a county-mandated widening project for a couple of LRAA roads, necessary to keep them safe for emergency vehicles.

By the time our updated budget was approved at September's member meeting every contractor we contacted was already booked (until spring), and then we had early snow. Fortunately, this week's warming trend has provided a small window for at least getting our potholes filled. After next spring's melt we'll have our usual repair and grading done.

Two ways to help...

• Join the Potholes Work Party. If you can lend a hand, please contact us asap via the website Contact Us page, selecting "Potholes Work Party" from the dropdown "Topic" menu.

• Can't join the party? It would be a big help if you could fill large potholes in the road in front of your own property (or that of your neighbors). Piles of gravel for this specific purpose are located on Rainbow Road and the northwest side of the runway (near the yurts).
