Driving through our city has become an obstacle course. Potholes, cracks, and uneven pavement are everywhere, turning daily errands into a frustrating and dangerous experience.

The longer we ignore this issue, the worse it gets, costing drivers money in repairs and putting lives at risk. The city must prioritize repairing damaged roads before the problem escalates further. Poor road conditions don’t just cause inconvenience, they lead to accidents, expensive car repairs, and even damage to emergency response times. Potholes alone cost U.S. drivers over $3 billion per year in vehicle repairs.

Ignoring road repairs is a costly mistake. When small cracks are ignored, they expand into larger potholes, leading to more expensive repairs in the long run. Investing in road construction now will save the city and its residents money in the future. 

Some argue that road repairs take too much time and money, but the reality is that delaying maintenance only makes the cost higher. A well-maintained road system is essential for a thriving city, and investing in it now prevents bigger financial problems later. 

The state of our roads is more than just an annoyance, it’s a growing problem that demands action. Our city leaders must prioritize fixing these streets before they cause even more damage to vehicles and endanger drivers. It’s time for a serious investment in road repairs to create safer and smoother streets for everyone.
