MOUNT HELIX
Work begins this week on a project to repair and restripe the roads leading to and from the top of Mount Helix. But some residents want the work postponed until they can bring a full proposal to the county that addresses continuing safety issues on the curvy, narrow, one-way roads.
An email from the county to Krista Powers, executive director of the Mt. Helix Park Foundation, says contractors will be working in stages on the project, starting with the removal of existing road striping on Monday and Tuesday.
Road resurfacing operations are scheduled for April 26 and April 27 with new road striping tentatively scheduled for May 3 and May 4. The county told Powers the road will be closed from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on days work is scheduled.
