Lake County is launching a Road Reporter application for residents to give feedback regarding road conditions throughout the county.
The Road Reporter uses GPS mapping technology to allow residents to submit reports about infrastructure issues, such as signs, potholes, streetlights and flooding. Users can view the status map to verify if an issue has already been reported and for status updates on their existing reports. The application can be accessed from any computer or smartphone device. Reports outside of Lake County’s jurisdiction are forwarded to the appropriate governing agency. To access the application, visit https://roadreporter.lakecountyfl.gov.
“It is important that we have an accurate assessment of our roads in Lake County,” said Sean Parks, Lake County Board Chairman. “Our Board has made improving road conditions a priority as roads impact economic development and the quality of life for our residents. We are constantly looking for new ways to support road improvement projects and are encouraging residents to help give feedback regarding the roads they travel on every day.”
On Oct. 22, 2019, Lake County launched a two-year plan to accelerate countywide road resurfacing projects and address deteriorating roads. The Board of County Commissioners authorized the repaving 63 miles of roads in the poorest condition along with an additional 28 miles of road that needed repairing.
