I was referring to private roads as having no similarities or connections to the Roads in Limbo situation. Private Roads are just that privately owned. Roads in Limbo are a failure of the State that thrust the problem on the County and now impacts the people. Roads in Limbo are a simple fix, Money! Pay to have the issue properly researched, pay to bring them up to County standards, and pay to maintain them. County or State, government is fully responsible, but neither wants the responsibility.
I personally believe they don't want this solved; it saves them a boat load of money. Think about this, let's say the State & County decided they don't want those roads and if they are privately held, imagine the back taxes owned; how quickly do you think it would be legally resolved as to ownership? I give it a month or two, tops. But since this has more to do with spending money to maintain the roads, the incentive to solve this is nowhere. [
