Commissioner Lunt is correct by looking down the road to the Cement Plant caters to hundreds of large semi-truck- s, which cause considerable damage to the road. State Road 41, otherwise known as Nephi Main Street, and Track Street require a lot of snow removal for the school children; not to mention the snow removal problems through Nephi Canyon and Dog Valley. Once state roads are given to counties they have a tendency tp become dilapidated, dysfunctional and dangerous. Case in point is State Road 273 from Hwy. 132 to State Road 650 (the old Jeri-c- o cutoff) also U.S. 91 from Nephi to Santaquin. Here are a few maintenance problems the County and City will be faced with. Asphalt overlays, rock chips, paint striping, guard rails, signs, reflectors, drainage problems, R W fence repairs, weed control, R W mowing, and a multitude of diverse work to keep them functional. Not to mention the liability insurance. I propose that we take care of the roads we already have and let the State maintain the ones they own.
