The supervisors voted unanimously to adopt revisions to the county’s secondary road plan for 1980-86, incorporating improvements to Routes 621, 680 and 637. With the new projects added, Luke noted that “just about everybody’s request (voiced at the annual road hearing) has been taken care of, one way or another.”
Askew described the plan as “a fairly aggressive program based on the best guess we can come up with on anticipated funds.” He added that the key to almost all road improvement projects is availability of right-of-way.
Copies of maps showing the road projects included in the six-year-plan are available for inspection at the clerk’s office in Washington and Askew’s office in Warrenton.
Carson Johnson asked Askew if the highway department could clear some of the debris from stream beds. “There’s enough debris in a quarter mile to block a water gate or a bridge” if the county gets even the normal autumn rainall, Johnson said.
Flooding that will result if the streams aren’t cleared could cause serious road and property damage, particularly in the lower end of the county, he said. “A wall of water could reach homes and property like we've never seen before.”
Askew replied that the highway department had done “some channel work” and would do more as soon as higher priority projects are completed.
