~ Information Packet with photos of road, Letter to Road Representatives, Informational leaflet, etc emailed to Governor Manchin through web site and through personal email with the following introductory note:
Hello Governor Manchin,
The following letter and photos (attached) were submitted to Marion County DOH reps, engineers, maintenance and complaints depts as well as DOH reps in Charleston, and local Marion County District Legislators.
Several local DOH reps met with our community April 12. The meeting was inconclusive and unsatisfactory to residents.
283 signatures were collected in support of the document that follows, 60 residents personally attended community meeting ( sign in sheet available) to discuss options.
While we appreciate their time to meet with us, we don't appreciate that local reps. Mike Roncone and Ray Urse advised us that our road is "a rainy day project" and they would get around to it at their convenience...that our population, aprox 100 houses with 300 residents, does not justify taking workers off other jobs for our road repairs.
Our community has offered free skilled labor to assist in the road repairs and were turned away.
Our community was courteous, repectful and entertained the stall tactics offered by the DOH reps. ( pilot project for which they are submitting figures and waiting approval then seeking funds ) We are no longer interested in talk and delays, we request action.
Please take time to consider our situation and feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience.
Watch for packet in mail that includes copies of all signatures, photos of road conditions and the documents that follow.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Melissa Brodsky and Carrie Heston- Tunnel Hollow and Prickett's Creek Road residents and concerned citizen activists
please visit our blog: www.fixtheroad.blogspot.com ( currently under construction as time allows)
....This will also be sent via postal mail tomorrow.
~ Contact made with residents that were able to get Cherry Run paved on Bunners Ridge- a road similar to Tunnel Hollow/Prickett's creek with "low population". Will be contacting again soon for follow up.
~ Local resident helping us to contact Caputo for face to face meeting- watch blog for follow up.
