Residents demand urgent road repairs amid growing frustrations

Residents of the Sandy Reid subdivision voiced their concerns during a recent government meeting, highlighting significant issues with road maintenance in their area. One resident expressed frustration over the neglect of the main road, which has become nearly impassable due to large potholes. Despite previous repairs to side roads, the main thoroughfare remains in disrepair, complicating access for school buses and emergency vehicles.

The resident, who identified herself as living in a complex jurisdictional area, questioned where her tax contributions were allocated, particularly regarding road maintenance. Officials clarified that residents in unincorporated areas, like hers, should direct their concerns to Commissioner Dubos, who oversees those regions.

Another resident, Robert Baranowski, shared his grievances about road damage following a flood, which left a significant hole in his driveway. He expressed dissatisfaction with the response from local officials, indicating that previous meetings had not resolved his issues. Baranowski's frustration was palpable as he sought a more immediate and collective resolution from the commissioners present.

The meeting underscored the ongoing challenges faced by residents regarding infrastructure maintenance and the complexities of navigating local government channels for assistance. Officials encouraged residents to schedule appointments to discuss their concerns further, emphasizing the need for direct communication with the appropriate commissioners.
