It was a clear victory for all our candidates, not close. One street just outside our subdivision was leveled off and graveled almost a month ago, and it’s still gravel. 45 MPH speed limit: people keep wiping out on the curve. Zot knows if it will ever be asphalt again.
One of the problems with streets around here is a confusion of city, county, state, and federal authority. Some are even supposed to be maintained by the HOAs.
Too many cooks spoil the soup.
In NV, its very plain to see where the counties and cities end and begin. The street that divided Las Vegas and North Las Vegas was distinctive. The two cities couldn’t decide on a paving contractor, so one side (LV) was smooth and well maintained and the other side (NLV) was broken asphalt, potholes and crack repair lines.
When our neighborhood over in the wildlands was still under the maintenance of the developer there was a bit of snow that piled up on the road. A good bit, as it turned out.
They sent over Mutt and Jeff with their two pickups equipped with plow blades to try to clear the road, which is a slight uphill grade to a cul-de-sack.
Mutt would ram his truck just as far up into the snow as he possibly could. Then Jeff would tow him out and take his run. They traded off like this, to the entertainment of the few residents, for a couple of hours.
You can see the county lines on our roads too.
Rough to smooth in an instant.
