Why Are Road Edges Being Torn Up? County Explains

The County’s Road and Bridge Department is addressing concerns about the “peeling back” of grass edges along county roadways, explaining that it is part of a maintenance process called edge reclamation. This process improves drainage, visibility, and extends the life of the asphalt by removing built-up grass and soil at the road edges. The county reminds residents that the area adjacent to the road is part of the county-owned right-of-way and is responsible for maintaining it to meet safety and engineering standards.
