Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sullivan County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
County accessibility for disabled residents
Public commenter Ken Walter called out narrow doorways in the Government Center, impassable sidewalks, and businesses that sidestep ADA requirements during renovations — and asked the county to lean on code enforcement and pursue grants.
County Route 370 joint bridge project with Orange County
After public pushback on a full closure, the jointly owned bridge will be rebuilt in stages with one lane kept open under traffic lights instead.
Bridge repairs and replacements
Four major bridge replacements are done this year, but a truck crash severely damaged the Bridgeville Road bridge near the Ski Hill — repairs are being rushed before winter. The county is also going after the driver's insurer for costs.
