Collard Lake Road was reclassified from a Local Access Road (LAR) to a County-maintained road on September 10, 2019.

We would like to welcome Collard Lake Road residents and property owners. The staff at Lane County Road Maintenance is excited to work alongside the Collard Lake Road neighbors to maintain this important road.

During the next several months, Road Maintenance staff will be evaluating the Collard Lake Road right-of-way to identify potential issues on abutting properties that may affect regular maintenance or the greater integrity of the roadway and surrounding land. Water drainage is one example of an important area of focus to ensure the safety of the roadway and neighboring properties.
