Plum Run Road has been closed to traffic since May 2018. What is normally a 10 minute drive to take my child to school (we don’t have a safe bus stop) now takes me an additional 45 min each way bc I have to travel to Farmington and circle back to Fairview. Now the other end is collapsing and we will have no way in or out. We have no fire hydrants in the area and a tanker truck would not be able to get to us due to the condition of the road and weight of the truck. In the event of a medical emergency it would take an ambulance an extra 30-45 minutes to get here. Many community members have called the state road and we are all told that the State is Broke (No Funds) and the road could take years to fix. We are asking for everyone to sign this position bc this is unacceptable. We are tax payers and we want a safe road to travel. In the
The state keeps telling us there is no money for repairs while they ignore the fact that our safety is at risk. Call your local representative today and demand they prioritize these road repairs before another section collapses. Tell your neighbors to post our petition link on their Facebook feeds so the officials know we are watching.

Ridiculous!!! Lets repave roads that have nothing wrong with them but not fix the ones falling in. I grew up on plum run and still have family there. A large portion of people on the run are getting up in age. There needs to be safe passages for emergency vehicles and school buses.

As the wife of a volunteer fire fighter, it is frightening the number of emergency calls that are hindered or delayed due to this closure. As a matter of fact, a rescue medic was delayed just this weekend. It’s not just our elderly at stake. Everyone one of us and our loved ones are at risk! All three slips need addressed immediately!

I was going to work one morning and met 3 triaxle dump trucks followed by an EQT pickup truck.
The next day the road up on the ridge was collapsed. This company should be held responsible for this damage!

Too many of our country roads are doing this it’s terrible to drive 45 minutes out of your way to take your children to school. It’s hard to tell how long it would take an emergency vehicle to respond

There is no excuse to leave this road untouched for years. I'm sure if it was a road in front of a politician home, they would not accept the answer of it would have to wait for years to get it repaired so why should we!

My elderly mother lives on plum run. She needed an ambulance and it was delayed because it had to take the long way. If she had been in a critical state...she would have died before it got there. Now the other way in is crumbling in also. This will cut off those folks. This has went on too long

No one and I mean no one should have to worry about being trapped or not being able to get out in an emergency or even travel on a road like this.
