County Commissioner Carl Turman said Wednesday the by-district road list is a “proactive, not reactive” measure, and one all residents should examine closely.

“(As commissioners) we want to serve everyone the same and make sure all the dirt roads are taken care of,” Turman said.

County engineer Darren Capps said last week his staff has compiled a by-district list of the county-maintained dirt roads. The commission will be asked to adopt the list, and those listed will be part of the road maintenance program plan.

According to the engineer’s office, there are 190 roads totaling 185 miles in District 4, the majority of which Turman described as “pure clay.”

He said he and a former road superintendent, the late Gary Hardage, began a similar road cataloguing system years ago.

“When we were in the district system, we rode all the roads and tried the best we could to document each road, how long it was and how to get to it,” Turman said. “This is one of the projects where I felt we needed to be proactive, not reactive, and was something we could do to make the county better. I’m glad we’re taking care of things with a good understanding with the people that we’re (commissioners) doing our best to see you’re taken care of.”

If not listed on the county-maintained list, the road won’t be on the maintenance list.

“Look and make sure your road is on the list,” Turman said. “If not, contact us and let us know because sometimes we miss things. We don’t mean to, but it just happens.”
