Amanda Barnes, a resident of Glendale Lane in District 4, told the Limestone County Commission at a work session that the road has become "completely dangerous to drive." She said a vehicle ran off the road in the last month while trying to avoid potholes and asked the county to repair the pavement or, if repairs are not possible, "at least come back and turn it to dirt."

Barnes told the commission she has raised the problem before, saying, "I spoke with you a year ago. I spoke with you 6 months ago," and that the last time the road was fixed was 24 years ago, when she built her house. She asked to speak with county staff after the meeting to follow up.

The chair of the Limestone County Commission told Barnes that the work session was not the appropriate forum for questions to the commission but offered a short recess and said county staff would be available after the break so she could discuss the issue. No formal action to repair Glendale Lane was taken during the work session; the exchange occurred during the public-comment portion of the meeting.

Why it matters: Barnes described a recent crash risk on a county road that serves residents of District 4 and requested an immediate remedy. The county did not set a timeline or commit funding during the session; instead the chair suggested in-person follow-up with staff during a recess.
