Special to the Times Vedette
A 5-ton vehicle weight limit on Lake Panorama roads will begin Monday, March 10 due to roadbeds being soft and incapable of holding heavy loads. The 5-ton weight limit will continue until roadbeds dry out enough to support heavy loads.
“LPA (Lake Panorama Association) understands there is inconvenience involved and appreciates your cooperation,” the LPA stated in its Panorama Prompt email communication. “The cost to everyone for non-compliance is high, with seal-coat expense being above $40,000 per mile.”
UPS and FedEx have reviewed their compliance strategies with LPA and are utilizing acceptable vehicles. Although these vehicles have a high profile, LPA has determined them to be acceptable from a weight perspective. LPA members receiving routine deliveries from UPS and FedEx do not need to make special arrangements. LPA has also notified Panorama Schools and encourages lake residents to contact the school with any questions regarding pick-up and drop-off locations.
