I complained at a city council meeting about this road. I wish more people would rather then use this website. I was told Pierson Blvd needed a complete rebuild, but there is no money. Interesting since they are repaving 21st St for no reason at all.

Poor planning and the city of newark dissing the taxpayers. Fix stuff for the big shots and let theother stff rot.

Issue Closed

The administration should be embarrased having streets like Pierson Blvd. You do not see trashy main streets like that in other communities. Makes Newark look third class.

This road is like driving over a washboard. Long over due for repaving!

This street keeps getting worse. The patch job that was thrown done is a Band-Aid.

Was on an official looking City of Newark web page and saw that Pierson Blvd. was on schedule for paving in 2017. Is this true? How about it Street Dept?

Larry, I saw the same thing I think on the Newark Advocate.

Guess we will see how it pans out Tim. All it would take is for Kroger to complain about the shabby Pierson Blvd. I'm sure action would be taken quickly.

Why should Kroger complain? It does not concern them at all.

Economics. Kroger is always aware and concerned of the roads in the area of their stores. They lose casual customers if people avoid bad roads leading to their store. The only reason they are not complaining about the Pierson Blvd. travesty is they realize 21st Street was just repaved. They can live right now with the rough patched asphalt quiltwork of Pierson Blvd.

The city is "anticipating to start on Pierson Drive on October 9th, weather permitting."

Thanks Tim T, this is wonderful !
