This is to the mayor: It’s almost August and you still can’t see any repair work done on our roads. It seems you’re in such a hurry to allocate money for things we don’t need, but when it comes to things we do need (better roads to travel on such as: W Silver, E Silver, Franklin, Western Ave, lower end of Northwest Rd, N Elm by the intersection of N Elm and Notre Dame, Bates Rd.) you wait. When are the roads going to be fixed, or are you waiting for winter again? For the latest on city road repairs, read Dan Moriarty’s July 23 article, ‘City’s worst roads to be addressed.’
