3. Town Road Improvement Project Summary
GOAL: Develop a long-term road improvement plan to maintain, reconstruct where necessary, and guide the construction of new roads for the Town of Boulder Junction that is acceptable to the electorate. BACKGROUND: 64 miles (71%) of the town’s 93 total miles of roads have had little or no major reconstruction in recent history and are in need of repair. Without a plan to properly reconstruct and maintain the town’s roads, deterioration will continue and the costs of reconstruction will continue to rise.
