I have watched them pave roads over and over, while I and many more
still live on dirty filthy dirt roads with no drainage.
I have asthma and believe me that dirt is a huge problem. Children
in this neighborhood probably have asthma and parents don’t even
know it. You see them all the time sneezing and runny nosed during
the spring and fall when it’s not cold season. Coughing and carrying on
during change of season is a good indication of environmental issues
and asthma.

WHY NOT PAVE EVERY ROAD IN THE COUNTY FOR THE SAKE OF
THE CHILDREN, rather than re-paving roads that barely need it
this year or next.

COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT, I ASK YOU
TO HAVE A HEART AND GET REAL …..THE COUNTY NEEDS REAL
PEOPLE.

Sounds like a way to just waste time so that they’re not actually paving the roads…now they’re are just planning to pave the roads…what a joke.

County’s going backwards its seems.

I think they should pave all the dirt roads first.

It doesn’t take a fancy truck with all the fancy equipment or even a genius to figure out what roads need to be serviced and maintained.. They could have saved that money and put it towards fixing the problems…

I agree with bob….western escambia AL is the worst. Zero political leadership and all the $ goes to the Brewton cronies. Decent intelligent candidates for office can’t get their message out because of the journalistically negligent rags that calls themselves newspapers in the Atmore area….some roads, like 18th avenue are so bad that people have started driving on the right of way to avoid the potholes. It’s time for real leadership over there.

First there was the 5 cent gas tax to “pave the dirt roads’ in the county…let’s just roll that into the general budget. Next the fire tax for insurance savings? (Not my insurance.) Then the sales tax for all county improvements. Makes me think of the movie Field of Dreams in a way……TAX IT AND THEY WILL WASTE IT!!!!

Seems like a political favor of some sort, these roads never get paved until they already have potholes. Do we need to spend over 200K to detect a pothole? really?

What does it matter which road needs repairs the most?
Those that complain the most get the most.

Need cheese with that wHine?
