Barry County Road Commission
May 21, 2002
The Prairieville Township Board, at its regular May 8, 2002 meeting passed a resolution outlining the following expenditures for its 2002 road project list.
1. 3-Mile Road (Doster Road to Burchett Road, unless Road Commission is willing to float expense into next year, which would allow paving to Norris Road) Mat Wedge (4400)
2. 4-Mile Road (Doster Road to Lindsey Road), Full Seal
3. South Shore Drive, Crack & Slurry Seal
4. Southgate Drive, Slurry Seal
5. Sunshine & Division Drive, Full Slag Seal
6. Crooked Lake & Rankin Drive, Full Slag Seal
Dust Control
2 Applications with the lower % chloride solution
The only changes to the recommendations would be as follows:
1. Do full length of Kane Road
2. No dust control for Day Road and Warner Road
Gravel
Do as recommended with following concerns:
1. Deep grooves on the sides of gravel roads for drainage seem dangerous, particularly on Burchett, Bendere, and Hickory Roads. Can trenches be filled with stones? People are getting their tires caught in them and cannot get out.
2. The trench on Hickory Road empties into the Prairieville Creek, which is the only inlet into Gull Lake. The Prairieville Township Planning and Zoning Board, along with The 4 Township Water Resource Council is trying to take action to preserve the entire Creek. They are proposing an ordinance to allow zero pollution into the Creek. They want to know if road drainage into the Creek can be stopped or blocked.
Centerline Paint – Do as recommended
Signage – Do as recommended with following additions:
1. Shelp Lake – Reduce Speed – signage on Pine Lake Road
2. Cressey – Settled 1831 – signage near intersection of Cressey and Enzian
The Prairieville Township Board has set a budgeted amount of $100,000 for road improvements. It is our belief that our list here can be accomplished within that amount. Please advise me if that turns out not to be the case. If there are funds remaining, I would like to see Kane Road widened a hair as it goes up the hill at the 3-Mile Road intersection. The road is carved deeply into the bank and it is difficult for a car coming down the hill on Kane to meet someone turning onto Kane Road from 3-Mile Road.
Thanks so much Brad for coming to our Township Board meeting and with meeting with our residents afterward. If you have any questions or suggestions, please give me a call.
Motion by Commissioner Pashby seconded by Commissioner Dykstra approving the Road Commission to pay $10,000 of the additional $21,500 that Rutland Township was asked to pay on the Tanner Lake Road project due to a mistake in the mileage.
