Summary
A Danby resident told the committee a metal culvert dating to the 1800s is collapsing under South Danby Road, has never been inspected by the county, blocks fish passage, and sits under a 55-mph road. She says the whole road's residents share the problem and invited legislators to visit. The committee took her letter under advisement and asked the Highway Director for a status report.
