This is a very dangerous situation. The condition of the road beyond the Long Creek intersection is unacceptable. Its very easy to see the difference in the maintenance between the two sections of road.

It is certainly not hard to tell where the government plow stops and private start.with both plowing and salt /sand.think we all pay the same amount in taxes so think we all deserve the same treatment

Remember we have busses filled with children that have to battle route 19's terrible road conditions! There's no way we should be able to tell where one plow route ends because of the night and day road conditions! And one pass of sand straight up the center of the road is not acceptable.

This stretch of road has been terrible for years and the plowing and sanding is not up to the same standard of the rest of the roads in the area. Is this plow operator lazy or incompetent?
I actually took some pictures at the route 19A/9 intersection a month or so ago and the comparison is day and night. Route 9 North and Route 19A East are well plowed, sanded and salted (bare asphalt visible). Heading west from this intersection (towards Canoe Cove) the road looks barely plowed and a very small amount of "sand". This is totally unacceptable.
I will provide these photos if requested.

It is not a large or unreasonable request, such a small distance to ensure safety. Now the road is so treacherous when we get bad weather. The Government should be embarrassed to say that the road maintenance is done to minimal requirements and that is all they are responsible to ensure is being done.
It makes me feel that my life and the lives of others that travel on this section of road are not worth very much to this government.

This has always been a treacherous stretch of road and it is imperative that the very best possible maintenance be given to this road for the safety of everyone !!!!!

As a resident of that area, I am requesting the safety of our community be considered. Please take action before there is a fatality.

So many cars go off the road on this stretch, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bad accident. Just a matter of time if nothing is done.

It's not like we are getting hammered by snow storms. There is no good excuse as to why salt wasn't put down after all the massive flooding that froze into massive ice field in canoe cove.
