Dear Council and City Staff,
The Pavement Report, as usual, reveals how much infrastructure need Sebastopol has and how much money should be going toward infrastructure.
It is clear that the City needs to at minimum $1,400,000 per year to have a slight increase in pavement conditions.
But don’t citizens and tax payers deserve more than 40% of their roads in bad condition? Is there any way that the City can commit to at least 75% of roads in “Good” condition in 5 years?
There are constant proposals of bike lanes and constant chatter around bikeable and walkable Sebastopol but the roads do not support bicycles and the sidewalks don’t support pedestrians.
The Council needs to commit more funding to roads. Citizens, businesses, residents deserve better than “poor”. People pay a high price to live here. The roads should not be “poor.” Best,
Kate Haug
