He stated their understanding is the work would be done by August <br />3, 2012. Chuck replied that it would be done. Last year the Secondary Road Program was presented to the BOCC. <br />The focus has been to pave unpaved roads and still is. There are only about four miles of unpaved road so it now <br />includes improvements of paved roads such as widening roads. In general you can ensure you can install two foot <br />paved shoulders and resurface it. He also mentioned the improved bicycle plan which has helped identify some of <br />the roads. Jeff asked about the Dairyland work and the timing because of bicycling plans. Chuck responded that the <br />contractor has a window of time to complete. There is not a specific completion time. He asked if there were specific <br />dates Jeff was referring that he would pass the information on. The information about the progress can come from <br />us to Darcy to you. Darcy Zorio also mentioned Smith Level being part of that. <br />
