Blue River to Decide on Road Paving

The Blue River Board of Trustees has taken the initial steps to include a question on the November ballot that would form a special improvement district to pay for the paving of all the narrow, gravel roads in town.

Residents who already have homes in the town's three paved subdivisions or live on Highway 9 would not be included in the district, said Mayor Darcy Lystlund.Lystlund, who's been on the board for nearly a decade, said a meeting rarely passes by when somebody doesn't ask when the town is going to pave the dusty, pothole-ridden roads.

She said the board isn't advocating for the improvement district to pass, but wants to put the ball in the property owners' court so they can answer the paving question once and for all.
