'It makes no sense. You're paving perfectly good roads and then not paving roads that are crumbly,' said Jinger Snapp.
People who live there told CBS 8 that roads that appear in good condition have been repaved, while others in need of repair, are being ignored.Specifically, Snapp is concerned about the streets surrounding Golden Hill Elementary School, on 33rd and B, which are covered with cracks, potholes and uneven surfaces.
“I have called ‘Get It Done’ probably 15 times just on the corner over here. They'll come out and pave a little pothole and then the 18 wheelers and all the traffic, within one month it's all ripped up again,” said Snapp. “I don’t understand what is the process involved in deciding which roads to pave and which roads not to pave? Are you closing your eyes and pointing?”Following our tour, CBS 8 got in contact with a city spokesperson and shared Snapp’s frustrations.33rd and B is currently undergoing a project aimed at putting utility lines underground. Because of that, the city wants to hold off on redoing the streets here since they'll be digging them up.
