Update: Sunday, April 10th, 2011

This marks our one week anniversary from our neighborhood meeting about the road.

During this week:
Krysia was able to talk to Greg Segar on Monday and find out that the reason that he could not give us minimum specs on the gravel road is because they no longer create gravel roads. He did say that we would have written confirmation/approval to have our road accepted before we spent the money to bring the road up to whatever standards will be necessary.
She also asked if we could try to save money/time and get copies of the road survey done by the utility companies, and he said yes. Also, if we are not able to get copies that way, she asked if it was possible to get the surveying done cheaper by going through a student surveyor that might be enrolled at a tech school of some sort…and he said yes, but he did not personally know of a school that offered that.

Krysia has called to have all the utilities marked in and around the road. You may or may not have noticed that there is already some markings. Please take note of where these markings are on your property. She has also called and talked with one of the utility companies (I think the gas), and asked if she may have a copy of their last survey done of the road/area, and they agreed to send her one. This will possibly save us from having to hire a surveying company.

Hello fellow residents and neighbors of Jamilyn Ln! My name is Christine May. My family and I have lived here, on Jamilyn, for 6 years and I have watched our poor little gravel road go from fairly bad to really awful.
A few years ago, in an attempt to get our road repaired, I discovered that our road has never been a public road (despite the text on the legal documents). I was able to, at least, get Missouri Department of Transportation to pave both of our entrances onto Hampton Rd. We also came together as a neighborhood to fund a few dump trucks of new gravel...which seemed to have disappeared almost as quick as it was put down.
We are now faced terrible drive conditions and the big question hanging over our heads: "What are we going to do about it?"
Krysia and Angela have lead the way in researching ideas and communicating with the Platte County Commissioner's office. We have a small window of opportunity to try and get something accomplished. I have sent out a letter with as much information as I know, and would like to get everyone involved in saving our road. Please take a moment to consider and act. Thanks!
