The County’s Road and Bridge Department is addressing concerns about the “peeling back” of grass edges along county roadways, explaining that it is part of a maintenance process called edge reclamation. This process improves drainage, visibility, and extends the life of the asphalt by removing built-up grass and soil at the road edges. The county reminds residents that the area adjacent to the road is part of the county-owned right-of-way and is responsible for maintaining it to meet safety and engineering standards. For inquiries, residents can contact the Road and Bridge office at 913-804-6120.
