Multiple storms have created significant challenges for the county Road Maintenance Division with a combination of issues: increased calls for storm cleanup (flooding / trees down), decreased days to handle regular mowing due to rain, increased growth in shoulder/median vegetation, and staffing problems. Since the start of May, the division has faced 117 flooded roadways, 438 calls for trees down, and 252 unique roadside trimming requests for vegetation issues. As a result, the county is behind on its regular mowing cycle. The new scheduling targets are:
Segment: Regular: Current:
Medians 7-14 days 14-28 days
Sidewalks 14-28 days 21-35 days
Shoulders 45-60 days 60-75 days
