Dear Editor,
Why are the residents of Dutch Quarter treated as though we pay less or no road taxes? The top layer of asphalt was removed from the main road I believe approximately nine years ago. This was when the drainage system and sidewalks were done.
They began to work on the underground cabling this year, and now the road once again is left in an even worse state – piles of dirt in areas, making it a one-way; entire parts missing where you are driving on dirt; potholes that swallow your tires.
The working-class people in this area are too busy to make an official complaint, so I am doing just that. I am officially complaining! Finish what you started! Public Works is not starting a project using our taxes and then leaving the people to endure such injustice.
You would never see such deplorable roads in the “upscale” areas. We deserve good roads too!
