Residents demand urgent repairs as neighborhood safety declines
During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the deteriorating condition of a neighborhood that has seen minimal maintenance since the 1990s. A resident highlighted that the only significant work done was a tar and gravel job in 1990, with subsequent efforts limited to pothole replacements.

The resident expressed frustration over the allocation of public funds, which are reportedly being directed towards smaller, easier projects rather than addressing the pressing needs of their neighborhood. Public Works Director Greg McCaffrey had previously explained that the fund prioritizes smaller fixes, a strategy that the resident argues leaves their community in a state of neglect.

The lack of sidewalks has created safety hazards, forcing residents to walk in the streets to avoid gravel-filled gutters. The resident emphasized that maintaining property values and paying higher taxes should warrant necessary repairs, stating, \"It's long overdue to repair our neighborhood.\" The call for action underscores the urgent need for infrastructure improvements to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
