Granby residents express concerns over County Road 60 maintenance and drainage issues

The Grand County Board of County Commissioners convened on March 25, 2025, to address several pressing issues affecting the community. The meeting began with discussions centered on the condition of County Road 60, which has raised concerns among residents regarding its maintenance and safety.

A resident highlighted the poor state of the road, noting that it often requires drivers to navigate on the wrong side due to inadequate upkeep. The resident pointed out that water accumulation from ditches and untrimmed brush along the sides of the road has led to drainage problems. This situation not only affects drivers but also poses challenges for pedestrians, particularly those walking to Granby, who must contend with mud and dust.

The conversation then shifted to the maintenance of county buildings, specifically referencing issues with drainage at campgrounds. The assistant county manager had previously brought up similar concerns regarding a proposed animal shelter in Granby, indicating that these maintenance challenges are widespread and need to be addressed.

The meeting underscored the importance of infrastructure maintenance and the need for timely action to ensure the safety and well-being of Grand County residents. As discussions continue, the board will likely prioritize these issues in future meetings to enhance community conditions.
