terracore: 'Social media reported that the contractor dug/broke up the last several years of cold patch and other temporary solutions and graded / compacted it back down. So not a real repair, no paving, more like tearing off a bunch of band-aids and recycling them into a larger band aid.'
I saw your post, but did not have an opportunity to respond at the time. I spoke to the guys doing road 'repairs', and they said that due to shortage of gas, they were unable to do asphalt patches at this time.
But to address the more basic problem:
- The intersection is a convergence of state highway, county waterline, and private road, and we all know how those entities pass the buck whenever possible.
- The Morman Church's dry wells in their parking lot have filled up over the years and no longer function as intended. This causes all the water from the parking lot to pond in the intersection, the low point of the area.
- None of the commercial enterprises that cause the high traffic pay road fees: Wikimart/gas station, Orchidland General Store, Blanes, Kaleo's. It's a long story as to why this situation exists: they should, but they don't. The result is that the community association's road fund cannot afford to fix this one intersection and ignore the other 40 miles of road it has to maintain.
