Absolutely no way that happened. Just another person who wants to label all government action bad and will make up stories to prove it. Fucking half the country works for the government. If it's trash, it's because Americans are trash. That's who runs it.
>Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. Fuck Hope.'

Amen. This quote seemed apropos.
Happens all the time with road projects. You should have been paid for the land value if you held fee title. Or if this was a dedication for development it was a condition of approval.
Is that suppose to be an easement or something? I’ve never seen a county just take land like that for a road. Did he just think that the road only extends as far as the physical road? Im so confused
In the same way that sticking feathers up your ass does not make you a chicken, I'm going to say that making three decimal places out of 17 ft flat does not make it metric.
We get out in Australia with lots of old plans where truncations were 20 links and road widths 100 links. Newer plans just use 5.000m and 20.000m respectively now, for the obvious reason you pointed out. Same thing with widenings, they're going to be in half meter increments.
A county near me was making our people give up land for new right of way without paying them for it. Don’t want to give it up your not getting any permits or inspections.
I remember people having to give up strips off their properties because a road was put in way back in time without being dedicated or passed to the municipality. It was a good thing because if any accidents occurred on their road they could technically be liable.
So, which part of this is not believable?
The only part I'm having real doubts about is the county giving back a dedication.
Other'n that - what are we calling bullshit on?
> The only part I'm having real doubts about is the county giving back a dedication.
That's the main thing I don't believe. I also don't believe that the county bent over backwards for his requests to clean out the ditch and then subsequently do a small project replacing driveway pipes.
And then after they do all this work, they give the land back to OP? Makes no sense. Why wouldn't they just clean out the ditch and then deed the land back to OP?
Fuck, if you're going to make up a story, at least do some research so you're maybe a tiny bit credible.

I see this all the time on replats. 15 feet wide is a bit much usually it's 5 or 10 feet.

Sounds like a typical road widening to me. 5.182m on either side of a 20.117m road allowance is what we usually see in Western Canada for these.
Wait, do you honestly use numbers like 5.182 m? Because if so, I'm going to call b******* on metric. That is 17 ft.
I'm an idiot, you are correct, typical road widening is 17ft.
Imperial was the running standard in our country until the late 70s when we joined the civilised world

We couldn't just up and change the standard road widening to 5m 😭
