During a recent government meeting, community members voiced concerns about the poor condition of local roads, particularly in the Lytle area. Trent Duke, a resident of Lancelot Road, highlighted the hazardous state of his street, which is riddled with potholes and gravel, making it unsafe for children riding bikes and strollers. He emphasized the need for improved road conditions to enhance safety and potentially boost property values.

Cody Cooley, another resident, inquired about the paving of McGee Drive, which is currently an unpaid road in the business district. He expressed confusion about the process and the status of the project, indicating a lack of clarity in communication regarding road improvements.

The meeting also addressed funding for various projects, with approximately $7.5 million available for road repairs. Discussions included prioritizing projects based on community input and the urgent need for improvements in areas like Gill Park and North 18th to North 12th streets. Officials acknowledged the importance of addressing these issues promptly, as delaying repairs could lead to increased costs in the future.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's desire for safer streets and the local government's commitment to addressing these concerns through planned infrastructure projects.
