Whose road your Clay driveway actually meets
Clay carries more public road than any other town in Onondaga County: 175.0 centerline miles of town road, 70.5 miles of county-owned highway and 17.5 miles owned by the state, 263.0 in total. Close to 27 percent of it is the county's, so better than one address in four here has an apron that answers to Onondaga County rather than the town. That matters to your wallet in a specific way. The county requires a Work in the Right of Way permit for modifications to an existing driveway, widening and repaving included, and it will not issue one without a $1,000,000 policy naming the county as additionally insured plus workers compensation. That is a hard filter on who can lawfully touch the apron, and the certificate is a fair thing to ask a bidder for. On the concrete itself, only 3.2 percent of Clay predates 1940, the lowest share of any town in the county, so almost every drive here is an attached-garage, two-car-width pour and it fails in the same two places: the apron at the road and the joint at the garage.
