5. A5Proposal for road evaluation and five-year road plan

   Discussion of a proposal for road evaluation, an updated five-year road plan, road priorities, Old Viking Boulevard assessment concerns, and whether sealcoating should be reconsidered as a preservation tool.

   The committee discussed getting an updated road study and five-year plan, with Shane expected to inspect roads and later attend a Road & Bridge meeting. Members identified roads to look at, including Old Viking Boulevard, Viking Boulevard, Rogers Lake, and Gypsy Valley, and discussed a resident letter raising concerns about Old Viking Boulevard repairs, assessment costs, elderly residents, and traffic from the threshing show.

   During the road evaluation discussion, a member asked the committee to take another look at sealcoating, saying he had learned it may protect road surfaces from sun damage and that counties were using it on paved roads. The committee treated it as a topic for further research and for questions to Shane.
