County road repair questioned

Last summer during a potential construction project, my wife, Donna Foth, and I were speaking with Gordon Bates, the then-director of the county Roads and Bridge Department. He stated that Bottle Bay Road had last been resurfaced nine years ago and was therefore scheduled to be resurfaced in 2015.

Last week, Donna called the road department to find out when the construction would begin. She was informed that construction would begin on or about June 15. We were both pleased with this information until the location of the resurfacing was disclosed. It will be done on three miles of the least damaged sections of Bottle Bay Road, approximately five-and-a-half miles from Highway 95.
