The Public Works aspect
coordinates a user paid dust control program. The user paid program will
be for MC-30 asphalt only. Those willing to pay for dust control must have
their application and payment mailed by June 1, 2006.
If you are interested in obtaining dust control in front of you home, you
must complete a form and mail it (and your check for payment) to the Public
Works Department. The charge is $600 for the first 300 ft. and
$1.60 per ft.
for additional. To obtain a form contact the Road Maintenance office at
715-8354.How to Have Your
Road Blacktopped
Many people inquire with the Road Maintenance department about the possibility
of having their gravel road blacktopped. There are 249 miles of gravel
road in Johnson County and most gravel road improvement projects are based
on traffic count. However, Public Works has a program to blacktop one
mile of gravel road per year based on landowner participation by willingness
to donate needed right-of-way. These blacktop projects are prioritized
based on traffic count, number of houses on the road, and whether the
adjacent landowners will donate right-of-way. This is one way that neighbors
working together can accomplish getting their road improved. The roads
that rank high on the priority list will still have a high traffic count.
If you think your road might qualify for this program, you may contact
Public Works for more details and application forms.
