Rocky Road

English: Old, used asphalt-pavement.

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the Weatherby Lake BOA
7 Feb

During Alderman Comments two piped up about road concerns.  Mary described "horrible" ruts next to the roadway "at the north end of West Side Drive".  The ruts ostensibly have been caused by police officers parked on traffic patrol.  Dave commented on " 2 square cut outs on Rocky Point".  George mentioned the cut outs will be paved as soon as the asphalt companies are back in business, nobody produces asphalt during the winter months.

Roads are a good topic to discuss.  Despite a very light winter (ok, today is different) a number of City streets are showing wear.  One ominous cloud on the horizon, the county road tax renewal.  It sunsets next year and without it WL (and other cities) would be in a world of hurt to come up with money for streets.  No indication where the county commissioners stand on this one...it would be well advised to start the lobbying now.

The North end damage to the side of the road on Westside was caused by two large trucks, they sit there
last week while doing basement work on the house across the street. Mary could not have missed this!!!!!!

Have you ever followed Mary while driving? They don't call her lead foot Mary for nothing. Driving 40 in a 25 zone keeps her busy. I understand the Police have pulled her over for excessive speed....wonder if she ever got a ticket? What do you think? So no wonder she didn't see the trucks, 1107.
