Odd you should ask. Tuesday
morning I drove all over Candlewick looking at the areas involved in the road
repair project scheduled for early summer. Some are looking pretty ugly so it
is good this wasn’t stalled for another year. Unfortunately as I have mentioned
before the winter was rough on the roads in general. I saw several areas that
have deteriorated quite a bit over the winter but are not in our first year
plan. P.O.s will have to realize these areas will be taken care of but it may have
to hold off for the next phase in 2013. No matter how this progresses some will
feel their area should have been first. There is no way to please everyone the first
year so please be patient, knowing we are trying to be fiscally responsible.
I saw many shoulder problems and
of course ditch drainage that needs work. The ditches are engineered now so the
plan is to get that work underway this summer as well. Nothing is being ignored
but it will take some time and of course inconvenience for those in the work
areas. It is coming together.
