More comment about Town Line Road

Posted: Sun, Sep 23, 2012 9:05 AM

Recently a decorahnews.com reader asked about the maintenance of Town Line Road.  You can read the original question at http://www.decorahnews.com/news-stories/2012/09/3600.html.  The question has prompted a response from Nick, a decorahnews.com reader:

Hello Max, I would like to add some truth to your statement. First the company who used that road has a total of 140 trucks, which are only dump trucks and semis. Those 140 trucks are split over three different states. Also that company has several other jobs to be done and there is no way "at least 100 trucks" could be on that road. That would mean they would have to have at least 60 come from Missouri and Minnesota.

Now I know the truth and the truth is that no more than 15 trucks from the company were on that road at a time. Now the same trucks did use that rode several times. So get your facts straight before you say anything.

Secondly, that road was watered at least three times a day whenever those trucks used that road. So don't even say they didn't keep it maintained with water.

Now my last thing is that you need to go around some more roads in Winnesheik County because that is one of the better gravel roads in the entire county."
