Summary

In June 2012, a forum notice announced re-striping of King’s Highway’s center line and bicycle-lane side lines, along with crack sealing intended to limit water and freeze damage to the road.

Evidence limits

The source documents the scheduled maintenance and its stated purpose, not an independent completion report or a survey of the marked shoulder.

Sources

Residents and participants, “Roads,” Beaver Island Forum, July 20–August 2, 2012, topic 5233.
The discussion records visitor and resident reports of heavy dust, poor visibility for walkers and bicyclists, rough surfaces, and the value or limits of township dust control. It also preserves competing local explanations about grading, county equipment, speed, and paving. These are firsthand or participant observations, not a road-condition survey or official maintenance record.

Beaver Island Forum, “Beaver Island Road Striping”, June 18, 2012.
Forum notice announced a June 20 crew visit to re-establish the center line and bicycle-path side lines and perform crack sealing on King's Highway. The notice is contemporaneous operational information; replies debate the width and character of the marked shoulder, not the work completion.
