More road woes - Gayle Wilson

Recently I was in Azilda visiting my parents. As I proceeded down their "street" I thought I was going to lose something on the bottom of my car. Prevost Street S.
Recently I was in Azilda visiting my parents. As I proceeded down their "street" I thought I was going to lose something on the bottom of my car.

Prevost Street S. has been in bad shape for years, but after the snow at Christmas and then the deep freeze, it was worse than a cow trail.

The north end of Prevost Street was built not too long ago and paved twice in less than a year. The south end hasn't been touched in years. It needs a complete overhaul. Driving more than 15 km/hr would do major damage to the bottom of a vehicle. Heaven forbid an ambulance or fire truck should have to get down that street in a hurry.

Someone from the city's transportation division should go for a drive one day on Prevost Street S. But don't go too fast.

The taxpayers don't want to pay for any repairs to the city vehicles. It's bad enough having to pay for the repairs to their own vehicles.
