Comment by Rod Summitt on May 5, 2010 at 3:03pm: After traveling over more roads and streets of our city, I have concluded that my original thought of each household adopting four or five potholes will not be sufficient. Even learning from the census people that we have about 28,000 household, not the 22,000 I originally suggested, it would seem that each of those households would have to adopt at least eight to ten or maybe twelve to fifteen potholes to solve the problem. And then once we do, we can begin to address cracks and crevices.

Comment by Rod Summitt on April 15, 2010 at 12:38pm: Connie---just another example of "OK if you don't pass our tax, we won't do much"

Comment by Connie Steele on March 24, 2010 at 3:48pm: Trying to do the right thing can be difficult! I'd like to find the owners of two bikes, abandoned and locked within sight of each other. They've been there for more than a week. It turns out the CSPD will not respond. They suggest I have the chains cut and bring them into a police station. What would you do?

Comment by Verna Holloway on March 3, 2010 at 4:14pm: Yeah, there are quite a few around town. But you fix a pothole today and it rains or snows tomorrow, the pothole comes back.
