Gaylord street from Lowell to Bryant??? Until October? Why woul dit take 2 months to repave 2 city blocks? OMG!!! No wonder the road commission cannot get to the dirt roads in Mason County! Our road has only been brined ONCE all summer. Only been Graded twice! It is always like a washboard! Your whold body vibrates when driving on it. The RR tracks on Stephans Road are SO bad, your car bottoms out - so please when you drive over those, go VERY slowly or you will loose control! We all need to call in to complain about our roads and where they are BAD. I pay my TAXES!!!! And they are not cheap. I think we need a new Road Commissioner! HE has been there WAY too long!

Hopefully the State will approve doing away with the individual Road Commissions. This would open up the jobs to the private sector, where competition makes for lower costs! No bureaucracy. Our area roadsides just got their first mowing this past week...grasses and weeds were over 3 ft. tall. Property taxes don't pay for road work...gas taxes do!

Name...Gaylord Avenue is in the CITY...you are outside of the city...totally two different funds. Also, Gaylord is getting torn up, new water pipes and then paved. How about you go to a County Meeting and address your problems. Also, sometimes they leave roads like that so you do go slow and that way people don't get carried away and fly down those dirt roads and put other people's lives in danger.

The commissioner has definitely been in office too long. Road worker monitoring seems to be non-existent, and many dirt roads have been neglected in the last 5 years. They really need to fix the roads that need it first, then go on to improving roads. It seems that unless you have a financial interest in road upkeep the commissioner doesn't care whether our dirt roads are passable without possible damage to tires, shocks, etc. After my road was finally graded last month there are still rocks up to 10" across scattered across it. This is no better than the washboard it was. Shouldn't situations like this be addressed before we begin upgrading other roads?
