The bond money for paving has been depleted but the payment remains. (yes we were snookered) Now, there simply is not enough money to maintain our roads and further pave at the same time.
Luckily, we have had a rather wet summer and the awful dust experienced in previous years has been less of a problem this year.
We view our road as part of our home environment...our investment. It took some doing but several of us on our road took it upon ourselves to clear our overgrown street corner, rid our street easement of rocks, large weeds and overhanging vegetation. My husband mows both sides of 1/2 of our road with his riding lawnmower each week. Another neighbor mows most of the other half of our street. Another neighbor has even had a couple of our street pukas filled at his own expense. Two streets away, another neighbor maintains his street corner for site safety.
