(2) Goodwood Road will be graded and formed as soon as suitable weather for road maintenance prevails. (3) Not applicable. (4) Signs will be erected to warn of rough road conditions. (5) There has been some patch gravelling associated with timber harvesting operations carried out, but no comprehensive maintenance of Goodwood Road in the past five years. Available funds have been spent on more strategic forest management roads and routes most frequently used by tourists.
