Question

I am writing with a complaint about the disrepair of River Creek Blvd. As a longtime resident of Bluff Point, I have noticed this road becoming increasingly dangerous, including potholes, crumbling curbs, and worn paint on the lane lines and crosswalks, especially at the intersection of Sam Houston St. I wrote a letter to Scott Swain in the Public Works department a few months ago. Although I did receive a letter of acknowledgement, the issue has not been addressed. This is a highly travelled road and I am worried about the safety of the people who use this intersection. I hope you make fixing this road a priority. Thank you for attention to this important issue. Sincerely, William Breton
