Our road maintenance strategy continues to
focus on two objectives:
- Maintenance
- Required improvements for safety and accessibility.
The topic again this year for our general assembly was the section of Pinnacle Pkwy what we call the call the concrete strip.
This has been in discussion since 2001.
The Board and the property owner at the 2007 general assembly has set a time limit of six months to come up and rehash ideas and solution to fix this area.
Over the next six months the road committee will be posting their finds here.
Once finalize with the Board of Pinnacle Mountain P.O.A from the road committees finds and recommendations to fix this area it will go out to property owners for a vote.
I thought it might be helpful if we first look back at what has been done so far in coming up with a solution. . I took these from pass Board Minutes:
- July 14, 2001
Ronnie Styles will also begin investigation into improving the steep section of the road with the cement strip. Either the count or the original road builders were suggested as starting points. If we need to hire an engineer to develop some options, the board can approve funding as needed.
- October 13, 2001
Ron Styles reported that little has been accomplished regarding maintenance of the steep section of the road. Two firms have been contacted but have not shown any real interest.
- March 9, 2002
Ronnie has agreed to contact the Rutherford County road department for assistance in
recommending improvements to the steep concrete strip section of Pinnacle Parkway.
- Our board views this section of our roads to be the most difficult and dangerous to drive.
