North Bend potholes need attention

Published 11:24 am Wednesday, November 12, 2014

I am writing this letter after repeated attempts by myself and my neighbors over the past several years to have repairs done to our road (Northwest 14th Street). We have all contacted City Hall, to no avail. This includes e-mails, phone calls, face to face, and posting messages on the door of City Hall.

We have potholes 7 to 8 feet across and over a foot deep in some places. Not just a few of these monsters—about 20 to 30 of them. Everyone down the road takes turns doing what they can do to try to make the road passable but it is not nearly enough. I have had $500 of work done to my car alone from attempting to navigate this road.

After seeing the mayor and council touting how wonderful North Bend’s roads are in the public broadcast of council meetings, plus the implementation of added sales tax in North Bend specifically for roads, it is time to make them stand behind their claims.
