The first file on the shared shade route began with route maintenance agreement and closure notices from both towns. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year fourth, early thaw window 3 file records 22 closures posted at both route entrances before work begins; the previous window records 27. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that the path has two maintenance crews with separate notice boards. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
Each crew posts its own interval. Travelers ask which notice applies where the two sections meet. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
The service board posts the result and its first operating date. The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which closed the file after two records confirmed the same service interval.
