12/10/09 - Even as winter has made its first appearance, Livingston County residents are still dealing with the hassles of roadwork. Several members of the public came forward to complain about the maintenance being performed on Winans Lake Road at the Livingston County Road Commission’s regular meeting earlier today. Residents complained that crews have been cutting down live trees, leaving dead trees standing, and allowing dangerous debris to accumulate on the roadside. Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine clarified that the crews were not there to simply remove dead trees, but are meant to remove specific trees in order to improve visibility on Winans Lake Road. He added that some trees had to be removed to allow vehicles to pull off the road in case of car trouble. Crews are still working, and all debris should be cleared from the roadside by the time the project is finished. (JM)
