Resident tells commissioners county road work has left driveway unusable
Summary
Herschel Upchurch told the Lubbock County Commissioners Court that recent road work near his property left driving surfaces two feet higher than before and prevented safe access; he urged the county to fix the problem during public comment.
Herschel Upchurch told the court during public comment, "I'm Herschel Upchurch. I'm here to talk about the roads," and said he has lived in the area "50 something years." He described recent roadwork that he says created high build-up near his driveway and left adjacent surfaces "two foot high," making vehicle access difficult.
Upchurch said county crews previously ignored his requests to fix the location, that he was reported to law enforcement when he tried to point out the problem, and that subsequent work failed to resolve his concerns. The commissioners did not take immediate action but closed public comment and proceeded with the agenda. The court did not vote on a follow-up item during the meeting.
