Lawmakers listen to first responders about road access

It gets interesting that a development wants private access.  You build these $500,000 houses on private roads.  What is the Fire Department can not get their because the road is not wide enough or not maintained in the wintertime.  That $500,000 house becomes burnt plywood right.  Insurance will not pay since measures were not taken to protect the house.  Developers want private roads then they need to maintain them do not expect the local government to maintain your development roads.  You need to make your roads wide enough for a car length on each side this allows for a firetruck to get through.  Local governments need to start listening to first responders on the issue before issuing the permit to build.
