Summary
At its September 6, 1989 meeting, Peaine Township revisited whether Bonners Bluff Landing Road—mapped here as Bonner’s Landing Road—was private or a county road. The minutes report that the county did not maintain it and that private property owners paid a contractor to grade it twice a year, while public access to the state beach remained open. The township suggested asking the County Road Commission to verify the road’s status.
This is a meeting record and reported maintenance practice, not a deed, right-of-way determination, or County Road Commission ruling.
Open questions
- Did the County Road Commission later confirm the road’s legal status?
- What route or segment is meant by “Bonners Bluff Landing Road”?
- When did the private grading arrangement begin or end?
Sources
