Encountering the yearly, dreadful potholes at the end of my residential street, Evergreen Dr, this morning I had to sigh...oh, this again. Huge potholes to try to avoid after road issues have been reported regularly before winter set in so this situation might be avoided again. Over the summer, the road was leveled but I have never seen the limestone/gravel added that it has needed for a LONG TIME NOW. The road was graded but not necessarily rebuilt or graded in a way that potholes don't form immediately. The top of Evergreen Dr needs tons of attention to fix the grade, fill potholes, add gravel, whatever, for a longer term fix, not just a surface scrape! Thanks to neighbors who continue to try to get some of our tax dollars to work over here on the far west side of town.

Just grading does not do any good to fill the potholes, they are so big and deep now they need to be filled with aggregate. Once the potholes are filled the road should be graded with a crown in the middle of the road for proper water run off so it doesn't pool up and cause more potholes. When we first purchased our hose they would spread aggregate, grade it and after that roll it with a large road roller and the finished product was as hard as cement and lasted a very long time. I haven't seen the city roll these roads in over twenty years.

Thanks, Posey. Yes, it's getting worse by the day and I'm really concerned that someone could get injured, and/or a car damaged. That would be far more expensive than fixing now and regular maintenance later.

Would be appropriate that the city would respond.
When and how soon. Why not one response over 1 1/2 weeks, sayin' no response. No repair.

Thank you for contacting us. We are limited as to the type and frequency of maintenance we can do on gravel roads due to the current weather conditions. Recent freezing temperatures coupled with rain and snow has made grading impossible.
Staff has added material to the worst potholes and will continue to grade the roads as conditions permit and we are able. Issue was addressed on 12/3/2018.

Your request has been acknowledged and/or addressed to the best of staff's ability. A more detailed description of action taken by staff, if available, is provided in the comments above. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
