[Massplanners] Private roads???

[Thomas Bott]

Dear Mark:You can count on the Prof to make the connection to an alleged flamboyant character in exile. Not that one quotes losers in this day and age nor could one without google so we won't go with  “Ability is of little account without opportunity.”― Napoleon BonaparteTBott, heading back to my lane.

Subject: Re: [Massplanners] Private roads??? Dear Richard:If the Town hasn’t accepted it it’s private. Many many towns deal with this. The Road Commissioners aka the Select Peeps will sometimes make policies to allow plowing private roads, with a public safety rationale, based on the condition of the road surface. Most won’t “fix” private (see succinct definition above) ways because you can’t spend public money on private property.TBott

Hello, 
Does anyone have a good (easily understood) definition of a private road?
We have an unaccepted subdivision roadway that is used by residents not living in the subdivision. Those living in the subdivision feel that the town should provide therefore provide services (plowing and pothole repair). Anyone dealt with this issue?
Be Well,
