When a highway or bridge is out of repair or unsafe for travel, any three citizens
or taxpayers in the State may give written and signed notice of the insufficiency
to the selectboard of the town in which the highway or bridge is situated, setting
forth in general terms the location of the highway or bridge and the nature of the
insufficiency. If the town neglects for 72 hours to respond by either denying the
allegation or to commence work upon the highway or bridge, or fails to continue the
work in good faith and with reasonable dispatch until the highway or bridge is put
in good and sufficient repair, the citizens may file with one of the county road commissioners
or the Superior Court for the county in which the highway or bridge is situated a
written complaint, signed and sworn to, setting forth in general terms the location
of the highway or bridge and the nature of the insufficiency. The complainants shall
also give the commissioners security by deposit or otherwise for the costs of proceedings
under the complaint. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
