Today marks exactly one month since I successfully reported the puka to the neighborhood road association without any action. A neighbor put an orange traffic cone out to mark the puka for safety but it kept getting run over/moved. So many kids run up and down the road I couldn't wait any longer and filled the puka in myself using two wheelbarrows full of rocks and cinder. Honestly the only reason I waited so long was that I wanted somebody with more puka experience than myself to try and determine if it was just a puka or the start of something larger. After seeing three children run over it today (fortunately not falling into it) I couldn't wait any longer. I'm not upset about having to fix the problem myself (especially since I have plenty of fill) but I'm pissed off that my road dues are apparently going towards absolutely nothing. Here we have an obvious leg breaker reported and nothing is done about it for a month. I have two lots in Orchidland and I'm considering not paying the road dues anymore. Why should I, when I have to repair an obvious liability using my own sweat and materials? I believe if they took legal action against me I would have enough pictures and documentation to show that they aren't entitled to road dues from me. Feel free to comment.
