Why dont we turn over maintenance of the roads to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)?
VDOT, through its resident engineer, stated that all roads accepted by the state for maintenance must to be upgraded to state standards before transfer. After the roads are upgraded, the request would be made to the Shenandoah County Board of Supervisors who would then request VDOT to maintain them. The following upgrades must be accomplished: • All roads must be 18 feet wide with two (2) foot shoulders on each side. • Must have a minimum right of way of 40 feet. All homeowners must sign off on this easement. Any legal cost to submit Quit Claim deeds for widening the roads for each homeowner and lot owner would be SBAs. • At least two inches of asphalt must be added to all current paved roads so that no maintenance is required for at least one year except for snow removal. • All dirt roads must have sufficient crushed rock to support the traffic and at least two inches of asphalt to support the estimated volume of traffic. • Most water, sewage, electrical, cable TV and telephone utilit
