Ronan, MT City Street Maintenance (or lack thereof)
My husband recently accepted a job in Ronan and we are beginning the process of house-hunting. Driving through the area this past weekend, I was disheartened to see the lack of street maintenance. I probably couldn't count the number of potholes we tried to avoid. My questions is why and is the local government doing anything about it?

hmm
Perhaps they are awaiting a spring to show up. I know out here we are awaiting the road to dry and hopefully patch our neighborhood road where it meets the county road.. Or all the money is going to the 93 highway project.. I think the first is more likely tho.

 The other thing about street maintenance -- you can either have extremely high property taxes and perfect streets, or you can have occasional rough streets and more-rational property taxes. Pick one.

I think I heard once we have more gravel roads that any other state... be glad there is any pavement at all. I happen to live on a dirt road, I'd trade a pothole covered road to that.

9 months of winter, and 3 months of bad skiing
 About 40 years ago we were driving through... I forget if it was Circle or Jordan, but whichever one was smaller at the time... the highway pavement ended at the edge of town, and started at the other side again as we left town. Pavement? Who's got the tax dollars to pay for that?!

What you see right now is about average - a little worse in the winter. Was told by one of the local businesses that roads don't have a good base so its an on going problem. And welcome to the Ronan area.
