Glad to see the paving projects going and are slowly catching up to the years of neglect I remember reading a report from 2 years ago that it will take the city 9 years to catch up to where they can maintain the roads properly at the current rate of paving and repair which is actually pretty good as long as the budget is maintained. Yet for the whiners and complainers it is never enough and want more roads done more money spent and so on.
I as well am very pleased with the City workers diligence in the past couple years and the paving.I think about all the pothole dodging that went on a few years ago. Great work!
