This petition will hopefully make the people at Jefferson county road and bridge district IV finally listen to what we, the home owners want. Our roads are a danger and we need to rally together to have them listen and pave our roads. This will make the roads safer and also increase our home values. When we contacted the office, they sent a man named John McKinney, who basically dismissed my concern for everyone's safety in the winter and basically made it seem like the road and our safety didn't mean anything to Jefferson county. We are the home owners and our voices need to be heard. Please sign petition to show your support.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight sliding off my shoulders after the way John McKinney brushed us off. It is clear now that the county cannot keep ignoring the safety of our families when so many of us agree on the same basic needs.

Grading and laying down more loose stone does not provide a better driving surface. Mere days after the washboard is graded and re-stoned it returns. Guanella Pass Rd has been paved for similar reasons. The loose stone is quickly displaced to the shoulders and presents a poor braking surface when deer pop out from the shadows, particularly in low light conditions
The washboards have become more severe and dangerous in the 2.5 years that we have lived on Callae Drive. I sometimes find that washboards have already re-formed following grading before I have driven even once. It seems that paving would provide for a better business case. Motorcyclists such as myself are put in even greater danger. Also, the life of tires and vehicles is severely shortened.
Live on Elsie Rd
We have lived on Callae Derive since 2006. We are on the school bus route. The roads are getting so bad with ruts that only get dirt tossed on them a couple times a year, never leveled out. That lasts, maybe three days, then the ruts are back damaging vehicles. They horribly icy during the winter. Paving needs to be done and maintained, and the roads needs to be plowed and sanded earlier than 8AM!!
Paving is greatly needed, continuing to fix the washboarded roads every 2 months is not a good solution.
Seems like a waste of time and money to keep resurfacing the road and have the washboards and potholes return a short time later. Paving would make the roads safer and last longer.
Please pave Elsie Road, you are constantly having to grade the street l. If it was paved, it would save you the expense of all the grading charges. Thank you!

I have witnessed many an accident near our house at 13031 Callae Dr from vehicles sliding off the road in the winter including the school bus on several occasions
