Here is a doosie...680. What the heck are you morons waiting for? Enough with the patching already. Just redo the whole damn highway. Do it once in concrete, you won't have to touch it for 25 years.
Quite a few well traveled disasters waiting to happen: Wilcox/Fairview are the absolute worst. We were told by County Engineers office it would be rebuilt last year. S Racoon, south of 224 = ridiculous for such an important road. Market Street between downtown and Midlothian = pathetic. Turner, New and Kirk = triangle of death. Lincoln and Lynn Rd (both near Calla) are mine fields.
We always get same excuse..."it is because of our bad winters around here". BS. if you didn't let roads go without repair for a decade, it would never get this bad. Or..."fuel prices are too high"...or..."we had to re-bid the project". Total BS. Get the job done Marsico - or we will get someone in office who will.
And to get a shot it on the private sector...why doesn't someone make Simon Properties and Cafaro Corp dip into their deep pockets to redo the Southern Park mall parking lot and the 5th street plaza lot? Seriously guys, you need a 4x4 to shop there!
