Subject: Request to Pave Hawthorne Valley Road

We, the undersigned homeowners and residents of Hawthorne Valley Road, respectfully submit this petition requesting that the current gravel road be paved in order to improve safety, accessibility, and overall quality of life for all residents, guests, and service providers.

Background and Concerns
Hawthorne Valley Road remains an unpaved gravel road, which poses numerous ongoing challenges, including:

• Safety Hazards: Loose gravel, erosion, and potholes create hazardous driving conditions, especially in inclement weather and winter months.
  
• Maintenance Issues: The road requires frequent grading and repairs, which is costly and often insufficient to maintain consistent quality.
  
• Property Impact: Dust, debris, and poor road quality reduce property values and deter potential homeowners and renters.
  
• Environmental Concerns: Runoff from gravel erosion can harm local ecosystems and increase sediment in nearby streams or drainage areas.
  

Our Request
We respectfully request that Snowshoe prioritize and commit to paving Hawthorne Valley Road in the near future. We believe this improvement is in the best interest of both the residents and the broader Snowshoe community.

Paving this road will:

• Increase year-round accessibility for emergency services, homeowners, and delivery providers.
  
• Enhance the experience for visitors and rental guests, promoting Snowshoe as a premium destination.
  
• Reduce long-term maintenance costs by replacing the recurring need for grading and repairs.
  

We are open to engaging in discussions about funding, scheduling, or contributing in-kind support as needed, and we welcome a collaborative dialogue on how to best move forward.
