Why aren’t township roads in better shape?

Several of you responded to my rant (as opposed to blog) about my commute last week. From what my co-workers told me, it took all of them at least two hours to make it back to Ohio from exit 180 in Kentucky. If they took 275 east, it was three hours.

My theory on why the roads are worse is that we have far more roads and lanes to maintain and, in real terms, far fewer people to clear them.

Look how Liberty Township has grown in the past 10 years. It would be interesting to see how many more miles of road that they crews have to maintain versus the number of people that are available.

Like I said, I was generally pleased with the roads (even on 75) once I crossed into Butler County last week.

I do not know if the township sublets some of the plowing or if it is all done by township trucks. That would be an interesting topic of discussion.
