Infrastructure Work, Not Really
We have potholes.
This is an ongoing problem here in the outskirts of Phoenix. Not just in our streets but our highways.
We're talking BIG holes that can take out your transmission and give you serious whiplash.
We know where they are and have trained ourselves to avoid that lane at all times. Even going slow is a danger.
According to TV ads, a certain proposition has been working on it and needs to be voted back in to continue their efforts.
Of course, it's not supposed to up our taxes in any way - until you read the ubiquitous fine print.
We've lived here 12 years now. In that time, our neighborhood has only been resurfaced once. It was a really bad job. Crossing the street feels as if you're walking on boulders.
Our main streets? Not even once! The half mile to the freeway entrance has had the same two "holes" literally all dozen years!
The same can be said for the first 3 miles of the freeway.
This is wrong.
Steve has been delayed for up to an hour on the areas they have worked on. The detour is ridiculous.
Once the repair has been done they have to go back and paint the lines. That could take over a month!
The road may look better, but the potholes are still there! Not as deep, but still need to be avoided.
Our tax dollars at work? Not really. What about where you live?
