We want this road fixed too. However, we want many of the other deteriorating roads in Oakland County fixed as well. The problem is the funding available to fix roads (derived from the gas tax and vehicle registration fees -- not from your property taxes) has been decreasing for years, while the cost of road maintenance continues to rise. That means every year we can fix fewer and fewer roads, and more and more roads deteriorate. Really want this road fixed? Help us convince our state legislators to increase road funding! So far, they have been unwilling to do anything to address Michigan's growing road-funding crisis. According to the US Census Beurea, Michigan has been in the bottom 10 states in the nation in per capita state and local road funding for at least 45 years. In other words, the residents of most other states have been paying more to maintain their roads than we have in Michigan. Bottom line? You get what you pay for.
