Supervisors, fix the roads like you promised

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Sonoma Valley Sun

Dear editor,

Soon, rains will come again to Sonoma County. How will our roads fare? I can tell you the roads I drive to work are terrible in places like on Frei Road in Graton.

For decades, our previous County Supervisors have kicked the can down the road in response to funding needs for our bridges (Laughlin Rd.) and roads (like Old Cazadero Hwy and others). I fully understand that we do not get much from the State returned to us from gas taxes. We need to help ourselves!

Spending the money now is going to save us 10 times the amount later should the roads need complete rebuilding. You (Supervisors) said in June you were committed to fixing our roads. The voters said they did not want you to fix them with Measure A, but they want you to fix them. So get to work and find more dollars from the increased property taxes we are seeing, additional funds from the many tourists who come here, and additional dollars from the reserves and emergency set asides you have.

Please fix our roads like you promised us you would!

  1. i too agree our roads need to be fixed, bennett valley road has been repaved and in great shape but the road in my neighborhood is full of potholes and large cracks, if we get funding for the repairs i would like to see residential roads repaired before rural roads.
