Morongo Valley special roads district meeting in Covington Park (4/30)

There is good news for Morongo Valley residents who are tired of their washed-out dirt roads—a special roads district is being formed for locals, by locals, and the first meeting is Tuesday at 6 PM in Covington Park’s Mesquite Room.

Join your Morongo Valley neighbors to discuss how we can maintain our roads, keep them private, while providing your input on the project. Organized by community member Grace Hamilton and attended by the San Bernardino Special District’s personnel, this meeting is significant for homeowners living between North Star Trail and Navajo Trail.

The first steps to becoming an affordable Special District with the County of San Bernardino for maintenance of our local roads is to dispel misinformation, get facts, obtain information to the landowners, and raise enough funds to cover the costs. Once funds are raised, the county mails ballots to all affected landowners for a pass/fail vote, then the money is returned to residents who paid into the project. All of this starts by talking to neighbors to get an idea if this initiative is supported by the majority of the landowners.

To aid in gaining support, Grace Hamilton has created the fact-based website: crappyroads92256.com.
