Paving/Maintenance Schedule: Hart
County Roads Department routinely maintains our roads. We perform
ongoing maintenance to correct potholes, drainage issues, missing
signs etc… We also have routine scheduled maintenance of
gravel roads, currently twice per year. In addition we perform
special projects such as paving, replacement of pipes/bridges,
replacement of roads etc… The schedule is our proposed calendar
for completing major projects. The schedule is accurate for the
current month but may vary for future months.
Road Inventory: The Hart County
Roads Department can only work on Official County roads and within
the roads right of way. The County has adopted the first official
County roads inventory in late 2002. This inventory contains the
official County roads, known rights of way, the official length
of the County roads and other information. The only way the inventory
will change (either addition to or deletion from) including the
length of the County road is through a formal resolution of Hart
County Board of Commissioners.
Bush hog / Mowing: Hart County contracts
the bush hogging and mowing of the County roads and right of way.
A schedule will be adopted for this work. The contract has for
three cuts per year beginning in April and ending in October.
In addition the tree limbs are cut back once per year.
Long Range Plan: A long range plan
has been adopted based on an analysis of the County road assets.
Without a long range plan, the County did not have an adequate
analysis of where to spend our limited resources. Consequently
we have several million dollars in back log maintenance to perform.
2003
will be the first year of implementation for the long range plan
and will primarily focus on sealing our paved roads and resurfacing
of our tar and gravel roads. Subsequent years will focus on repairing
and replacing our bridges and pipes and continued resurfacing
of our tar and gravel roads.
The
long range plan also contains a condition rating for all paved
roads. This condition rating may be followed to determine which
roads get a new asphalt surface.
Adopted
Policies: Formal
policies assure that the enforcement of ordinances are equitably
enforced. In addition these policies are an easy way to understand
the County’s processes for various activities such as adopted
a private road into the County system or installing driveway pipe.
