Summary

In August 2011, King’s Highway was striped to the Four Corners with lines that participants understood as a bicycle and pedestrian safety measure. The forum also records discussion of the road’s condition and a reported plan for a 2013 highway replacement.

Evidence limits

The follow-up supports that striping was completed, but the forum does not preserve the road commission’s work order, exact measurements, or confirmation of the later replacement plan.

Sources

Sources

  1. The initial notice scheduled striping, and later replies thanked the road commission for completing the lines to the Four Corners. Participants connected the work to bicycle and pedestrian safety and discussed the planned 2013 highway replacement. This is contemporaneous community reporting, not a road-commission completion record or engineering specification.
