Help Us Out On Igou Gap Road

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

We on the west side of Igou gap road want Carta bus to stop using our road. There is barely enough room for two cars to pass each other let alone a huge Carta bus. It has already mowed down my neighbors mail box once again. Until they fix our road we want Carta to find another route. I was told by Jack Benson that Ron Littlefield had more pressing issues to deal with and our road was not a high priority for him. Mayor you raised our taxes yet again, and we get no benefit from it.

We have huge pot holes that are fixed in the middle of the night with some kind of mix in a bag. A few weeks later after a couple of good rains they are back again. It's these huge vehicles (Carta bus) and all the traffic that are causing this road to just crumble. Why won't Littlefield do what he promised to do? Why won't Benson do what he said he would do? The very least they can do is get Carta bus off of our road. Also storm water people need to get out here and spray for mosquitos in the five detention ponds around this neighborhood. We are infested with them.
