Work Order Issued

3 of the 4 Holly Mill subdivisions use that section of road every day. It is a disgrace. The minor patch jobs are worthless. My dad use to say: "Don't do a half assed job. Do it right" Let's get this fixed for good, no more 20 ft patch jobs. We pay loads of taxes now we want this FIXED!

Could you please tell us what the work order involves? I hope it’s not a another patch job which we all know is all too temporary.

Thanks.

HOLLY MILL FOLKS - Drop a line to Councilman Estes and let's get this roadway fixed for good and not just patched haphazardly. Here is what I had to say to Nick:

Subject: From one of you campaign donors - action needed for Prominence Point Pky/Keeter Rd area

Dear Councilman Estes:

Although this 'fix' is being looked into by the City, as a donor to your campaign ($200), I would like your assurance that the City takes the matter seriously.

Having our Councilman take a good look should make a big difference in getting things taken in hand.

Work has been done on this stretch of road before but it seems to be ineffective in getting us a decent roadway. I and a lot of Holly Mill folks drive on it every day.

Did the contractor do a bad job? Use inferior materials?

Anyway, Nick, this stretch of roadway needs a good look and then a more permanent fix than what it has been getting.

Can you please ride herd on this issue and make sure the City gets the matter some attention and a fix that will last longer than a few months.

Work Order Completed

I don't know what the work order was supposed to entail, but I just drove by the area and it appears that nothing has been done, let alone that the job is complete. The newly paved area is still crumbling and the potholes to the south of the paved area are not filled. I cannot agree that this issue is "closed".

Thank you.

I agree with Jeff. Just drove over this section of road today, and NOTHING has been done to it. This whole section of road needs to be scheduled for repaving, like was done further down towards Keeter Rd.

Closing account was dumb. I would have said so yesterday but it seems I was blocked or deleted from this site. I think I am back on now as I re-registered.

Did those 'fixing' the road not do it correctly? Why is this still an ongoing issue, the roadway needs to be fixed correctly, lots of deterioration on PPP, it isn't going to fix itself.

The work order that was issued was to put a temporary patch in the pot holes to keep the road passable. This road will be on our 2018 Paving list that will be presented to City Council in May, and will then be paved as quickly as possible from that time. The road obviously has a base failure that will require that section to be removed and built back from the base layer. Hopefully this answers your questions. We definitely understand your frustration and we are working to get this handled with a permanent solution.

Should have had this answer right off the bat rather than just 'closing issue' which tells us TAXPAYERS absolutely nothing. Thanks for at last giving the relevant info for this issue.

Work complete. Thank you.
