The residents of Kootenai County, Idaho, are facing a critical issue due to the deteriorating condition of Black Lake Road. This road is under the control and maintenance plan of the Eastside Highway District, which has unfortunately neglected its responsibility to maintain it. The current state of disrepair not only poses a threat to daily commuters but also hampers emergency personnel's response time, thereby jeopardizing community safety.

Federal, Idaho state and Kootenai county ordinances mandate regular maintenance for such roads. However, these regulations seem to have been overlooked in this case. The costs associated with this failure are significant - from vehicle damage for everyday users to potential delays in life-saving emergency services.

We urge the Eastside Highway District to immediately address these issues by repairing and maintaining Black Lake Road as per their obligations under local and federal laws. It is not just about improving commute convenience; it's about ensuring safety for all residents who rely on this vital route.

Please sign this petition if you believe that our community deserves better infrastructure management from those responsible. Together we can make a difference!
