This is a legal petition, part of an application packet to be sent to the Marquette County Road Commission. We are seeking the signatures of EVERYONE of voting age who has an interest in improving the Marquette County portion of Fence River Road. We are also seeking Comments and Letters of Support from businesses, forestry professionals, and others. Letters should be addressed to the: Marquette County Road Commission and (e)mailed to the sponsor.

TO: Marquette County Road Commission

WHEREAS: Fence River Road connects M-95 to Mansfield Township, Iron County, where a large part of the township is State and commercial forest land. We believe that the Fence River Road qualifies for the federal funding which has been provided to county road commissions to maintain forest roads It is a very treacherous road with sharp corners, rough spots, unsafe depressions, which can cause load shifts, and some loads of logs have actually come completely off. Slippery, very unsafe conditions can exist during the winter.

WE, the undersigned, believe that Fence River Road needs improvements and hereby petition the Marquette County Road Commission to use the federal funds, which they receive from the State, to improve the Marquette County portion of Fence River Road.

The road is becoming unsafe. We are property owners on Sundog Lake and have owned the land since 1960 since then we have paid a lot of taxes and would like to see the road fixed.

My family drives this way to the cabin all the time and honestly it scares me. way too many deep holes and loose gravel.

Fix the road. Fed money is sitting right there doing nothing while our trucks are getting beat to death.
