During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the condition of McCallister Avenue, which has been newly paved but now features numerous patches that detract from its overall quality. A resident expressed dissatisfaction with the road's appearance, noting that it does not match the standard of other main avenues in the city.
The resident highlighted that despite the paving, the road is marred by 11 to 12 patches, which they attributed to lead line replacement work. They emphasized the need for clarity on the engineering specifications that led to this situation, stating that they have made multiple requests for these documents over the past four years. The resident has engaged with various city officials, including Mr. Bridges and Mr. Garland, but has yet to receive satisfactory answers.
Additionally, the resident mentioned that they were informed by Mr. Bridges, the chief of staff, that there are plans to repave the entire road next year. However, they expressed skepticism about accountability for this promise, urging city officials to take action to ensure McCallister Avenue meets the same standards as other avenues in the city. The discussion underscores ongoing concerns about infrastructure maintenance and transparency in city planning.
