Summary

Tova Kopperud’s letter argued that most of Indian Point Road fit the County Road Commission’s description of a secondary road, even though its endpoints included seasonal sections. She said the road to a residence had not been plowed and asked for an explanation.

Evidence limits

This is a resident’s letter and road-classification argument, not an official road map, maintenance order, or adjudication of the plowing question.
