Description

We have serious curb and street problems on the circle of Ray Dr. West. The street was resurfaced in 1987 and no curbs were redone. At the time it was done in asphalt. It was not installed even with the curb and therefore has pushed the curbs into the yards and destroyed them. The curbs have deteriorated beyond repair and are now very hazordous to walk around or over. My husband tripped on one and broke a rib and the trash collector fell and hurt his back. This no doubt has cost the city money. We have appeared at CC meetings, spoken to the Council and spoke to Mayors White and Lanford all to no avail. And likewise grass is growing up through the destroyed paving. This greatly needs to be addressed before or along with any other street projects.

Once upon a time the City had a plan for repairing situations as you have. The plan was called "worst first" . Each block was rated for street and drainage and then given a numerical score BY THE CITY ENIGINEER. The worst street were given priority. Haltom City has given up the science method in favor of....??
Haltom City Taxes went up *8 per cent this coming property tax bill. Plus we will havve a bond election to repair streets too. Not your though. Drive down the streets they propose to rebuild.

Oh, this is typical city government at their best (their best is usually bad). They will fix streets that are newer and in better shape. It really is not determined by the condition of the street but rather WHO lives on the street...if you know what I mean! I have seen cities in North Texas spend an entire Summer and half a million to repair streets in brand new neighborhoods, in VERY LITTLE need for repair while leaving older streets in much greater need of repairs to get worse and worse....BUT, mayor and council members lived in those new neighborhoods while only mere citizens, blue-collar and lower income lived on those older streets. Hmmmm, you do the math...or science!

DLynn, you are so right about the steets getting repaired according to who lives there. Over the years, the curbs have cracked and eroded so badly in front of my home that I am embarrassed to have guests park here besides fearing for their safety of walking up to my home.
Visitors to my home constantly comment about the curbs, most of them in HC themselves. They wonder and ask about why doesn't the city "DO" something about our safety and do their jobs. I can only reply that I suppose we on our circle are not important enough. The fact is, we do pay our taxes, or at least most of us, don't know about all of us, just like the mayor and all the City Council members are supposed to do.
I am only told tha the worst areas get the repairs. I believe one of the worst areas is right on this circle on this hill called Ray Drive West.
Seems AT&T and Google never heard of this street, nor do the AT&T workmen know where we are. Maybe the city has forgotten us as well except for sending us the watrer bill and the tax satements.

Most of the issues on this site sit and sit without a single response from anyone at the city and yet it is the city that places a link to this site, on the front page of the city website, and they title it "Report an Issue" and treat it as the means to report and remedy issues within the city. But then they do not even pay attention to it or they merely respond with a "we will look into it" or " not our problem". This site has proven completely ineffective and the city employees and officials appear inept, disconnected, ignorant of their responsibilities and defiant toward the very citizens they serve! As suggested on other reports that continue to go unheard and ignored, get on the HC website and get the emails for the Mayor and each Council member. Also include our local news stations' investigative reporters (their websites have online forms you can use to submit a story to the investigative reporters). Direct them all to this site, suggest that they read through each and everyone of these reports, taking note of the lapsed time and the responses, or lack thereof, from city employees.
