Summary
In February 2018, BIEMS thanked a County Road Commission worker for placing sand at Tom McCauley Hill after a treacherous episode. In April, a resident still reported poor winter traction and vehicles nearly sliding into boulders near a TDS box, while saying they had repeatedly added sand themselves during the winter.
Evidence limits
The two posts show both a reported county response and a later resident complaint, but neither is a formal maintenance, accident, or engineering record.
