Resident tells Wilson County commissioners County Road 334 needs long-delayed repairs
Summary
During public comment at the Feb. 10 Wilson County Commissioners Court meeting, resident Manuel Utsey described prolonged damage on County Road 334 and urged commissioners to finish repairs and address dust and safety concerns.
Manuel Utsey, a Wilson County resident, told the commissioners during the Feb. 10 public comment period that County Road 334 is “in bad shape” after years of deterioration and partial work.
Utsey said he and his family have lived on the road for eight years and that repeated vehicle damage has resulted from its condition. “I haven't complained about the roads in 8 years, and now to me enough is enough,” he said during the meeting's public-comment item.
Utsey said portions of the road’s north end have been repaired but large stretches remain damaged. He told commissioners workers had applied oil to control dust near his gate but that unfinished sections were continuing to deteriorate. He said the road is heavily used as a shortcut between Seguin and Laverne and that the ongoing damage is affecting vehicle maintenance costs for residents.
The comment occurred during agenda item 3, public comment. No formal motion, referral or vote on Road 334 was recorded in the Feb. 10 minutes; the transcript shows Utsey making his appeal but no commissioner action or staff response was captured during that item.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after public comment; the transcript does not show a follow-up assignment or timeline for repairs to Road 334 during the Feb. 10 session.
