Work on Wilson Ranch and Duncan Roads

We didn’t have a meeting this month because of snow.

San Bernardino County will be working on Wilson Ranch and Duncan  Roads soon after a long process.   Here is a message from First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt:

SAN BERNARDINO – The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors today approved plans for paving stretches of Wilson Ranch Road and Duncan Road in the Phelan area.

“This project will provide better access for emergency services as well as improved safety and convenience for the residents of Phelan,” said First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt. “I want to thank the County departments and Phelan residents who have worked in partnership to improve the transportation system in the area.”

The Duncan Road/Wilson Ranch Road improvement project consists of grading and paving on two dirt roads and installation of traffic signs and striping. The Duncan Road portion of the project is between Johnson Road and Wilson Ranch Road, a distance of approximately two miles. The Wilson Ranch Road portion is from Duncan Road south to Goss Road, a distance of one mile.

The improvement of these and other roads listed as priority projects for the High Desert Transportation Facilities Plan reflect a cooperative effort among the County Fire Department, Department of Public Works and the Phelan Municipal Advisory Council to construct a backbone of roads that will improve access and safety.

To minimize the environmental impacts, Joshua trees will be relocated and a monitor will be on hand to ensure proper procedures are followed in case the threatened desert tortoise or Mojave ground squirrel are present.

The projects will now go out to bid with a contract scheduled to be awarded in late April. Construction will begin shortly after the contract award and is due to be complete in late July. The estimated cost of the project is $2.8 million.

    URGENT: The construction company working on the Duncan Road and Rosado Road area has begun work on the road but now that it has rained (it looks like they didn’t think about this possibility or just didn’t care)most people without all wheel/4wheel drive trucks are stranded and unable to get out of the area or back. The construction company has elevated the dirt on the side of the road so now all of the rain runoff has created huge deep puddles on Duncan Road from Rosado all the way periodically to Oasis and in the wash area as well. This is a huge inconvenience for us and many, many others in the area. Please try and have this taken care of so that there is an adequate detour route for the residents. I have spoke with many residents, this is the case for many of us. I understand that alot of these roads are not maintained, which was okay, but the construction company is at fault here for having most of the rain runoff go directly onto Duncan Road soley becaue of their actions, they should have thought about this before making this situation horrible.
    Thank you and kind regards:
    Mr. Weaver (stuck at home in Pinon Hills with many others)
