At the meeting's public-comment period, resident Jeff Hankins of 503 North Brevard Street told council that longtime pavement, drainage and sight-line problems in his neighborhood have not been addressed and said standing vegetation and debris create safety concerns. "Brevardview's getting terrible. It's been that way for 15 years," Hankins said, adding that at several intersections "you have to pull almost out in the road to see if anybody's coming."

City Manager Jonathan Sites invited Hankins to meet with him and said staff are increasing code‑enforcement focus but noted limits on city authority for some roads and right‑of‑way upkeep. "A lot of these roads that have gotten paved are actually TxDOT," Sites said, and he added that ordinances place some maintenance responsibility on landowners: "In our ordinances, it's actually the landowner's responsibility to keep that [right of way] up to the street."

Sites offered to inspect the areas with Hankins and place any needed repairs on a hit list. Hankins said he had previously been told a staff member would inspect and had not been contacted; Sites provided his name and invited Hankins to schedule a meeting.
