Why call about roads
Reporting a pothole gets it patched. Resurfacing roads before they fall apart takes money in the county budget, and council sets that budget. This is the case Fix County Roads makes to council:
- County Council removed road funding in May 2025 to “save” you money.
- The 75-year road replacement cycle is failing us.
- Roads need resurfacing every 20 years.
- Vehicle damage costs exceed proper maintenance.
What to say when you call
- Give your name, your address and your district.
- Name the road and the problem, and when you reported it.
- Ask what the county will budget for resurfacing this year and next.
- Ask for a reply, and follow up if you don’t get one.
