Anybody have experience with their private property and state right of way?
UPDATE: I should have mentioned that I live outside city limits and on the other side where my mailbox sits, there were trees overhanging my chain link fence and the DOH cut them down. Not sure if that’s relevant. 😀I live in West Virginia on a corner lot. The Wv DOH owns the road and so many feet beside the road and into my yard. The first picture is of the tax parcel map (sorry it’s blurry). The green line indicates my property. The circle is the foot of the driveway attached to the states black top. The following 3 pictures are of the end of my driveway. This past winter was record cold and snow & ice. After the thaw, I saw how much damage had been done to the road. At this time the driveway is unusable due to the severe drop going into it. 2 vehicles have already been damaged. Even though it’s blurry you can see the deterioration from the air. I’ve had two contractors tell me that it’s the states job to fix it. The DOH told me it wasn’t their problem. I’m at my wits end. My dad has a VA ambulance van who drives him for appointments because he’s in a wheelchair who can’t even park in the driveway. I’m not asking the DOH to give me a new driveway, just to repair their road leading into it. If I’m wrong I’ll happily repair it at my expense. Does anyone know by looking at the pictures who is responsible? Thank you all!
