Rustic Roads program goals

  • to identify and preserve in a natural and essentially undisturbed condition certain designated roads having unusual or outstanding natural  beauty, by virtue of native vegetation along with natural or man-made features associated with the road
  • to provide a linear park-like system for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian travel for quiet and leisurely enjoyment by local residents and the general public alike
  • to maintain and administer these roads to provide safe public travel, yet preserve the rustic and scenic qualities through use of appropriate maintenance and design standards, and encouragement of zoning for land use compatibility, utility regulations and billboard control
