Thread: What happens when the county asks for public input......

  1. #1

    Cool What happens when the county asks for public input......

    To make a long story short, our county finally decided that they had to straighten out their GIS mapping systems, get rid of duplicate road names, and even put up street signs way up here in the mountains.

    Our road was on "the list" -- there was already a White Pine Court in a completely different area, 35 miles away, and it was in town with lots of folks living on that road. Our street has only 3 houses, so ours had to change.

    But the county asked residents for public input, with the chance to name their own roads, or petition to keep the old names! Our neighbors on Dirt Road were able to keep theirs, after a letter from the VFD fire chief saying that the name was historic, and didn't confuse us firefighters.

    In fact everyone on our road is a musician, including me -- so this is what we came up with, and it was accepted by the county! We all think it's a hoot living on Boogie Woogie Way.

    I can see musicians moving there just for the street name.

    There's a road near Hill City South Dakota that just calls to me ..."Wrinkle Valley Road".

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    That's awesome. If I get lost up there and see the sign, I'll know where I am!
