Township Road problems

[edit]

Hello Steve. My name is Chuck Mayhew. I was born in Rochester MN, graduated from John Marshall High School. Moved to Winona MN to go to Winona State. Graduated from WSU in 1971 and went to work for Lake Center Ind. Left Winona in 1988 and moved to Owatonna MN working for Foldcraft Co. I retired as CEO from Foldcraft and as my hobby I am seated on four different ESOP Boards which are Foldcraft (Kenyon, MN), Windings Inc. (New Ulm, MN), Vics Crane & Heavy Haul (Rosemount, MN) and lastly Sharrow Lifting Products (Little Canada, MN). I am sharing my personal information with you so you don’t think I some prankster. I like to think I’ve done a lot and I have creditability. I now live in Wabasha county (retired) in rural Kellogg, MN. I and approximately 40 others live on 598th Street which is a gravel road and we need your help. Our gravel road is terrible and we are asking for state, maybe federal and possibly county financial assistance to get it blacktopped. There have been residents of this road for decades trying to get someone to provide us with the financial resources to properly pave this road with no avail. Our road is a dead end but leads to a public landing. The use of this landing, particularity in the fall, winter, and spring is exceptionally heavy. The road is roughly 1.8 miles long and we have counted more than one hundred cars/trucks parked on the road and landing parking lot. Add to that thirty to fourth vehicles parked out on the ice. This traffic causes severe damage to the road. The landing is owned by the DNR. The heavy traffic literally tears up the road. There have been head-on accidents and people driving into the ditch because of the road. The fire trucks, ambulance, US Mail, UPS, FedEx, school buses, garbage haulers and fuel delivers that think our road is awful. Can you help us search and conquer the funds to build this road properly? The people who own property on this road cannot afford to pay for the road. With all the talk about federal and state funds for roads and bridges I am hoping that after 20 years our road can be built right. There is another road in our township, Minneiska Township, that is about the same length, close to the same number of people living on it, and it too has a public landing. However, this other road only sees a fraction of the traffic and has been paved many years ago. So I respectfully request you come to meet us, see the road and hear our experiences. I look forward to hearing from you. Chuck Mayhew 59759 127th Ave. Kellogg, MN 55945 507-398-4472 cmayhew@foldcraft.@ 2001:5B0:2C56:35D8:80DB:C9B4:A543:D7BC (talk) 21:29, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
