Hi Mr. Kimmelshue,
I am a homeowner in Richvale, CA on Lindale Ave. Recently our roads have been repaved and our whole community was very excited to finally get the roads repaired. However, the work that
had been done looks awful and completely unfinished. I contacted Butte County Public Works and spoke to a gentleman, Doug I believe that said there is no more work to be done on the
roads this year. Apparently, we are supposed to get them chip sealed next year sometime but residents have looked on the agenda, budget and saw that we were not on that list. This really
is a mute point because the roads can not be left in the state
they're in.
I have attached several photos of the roads in our town and I am quite confident that if this was your neighborhood, you would not allow this work to remain in the state they are in.
There is at least 15 feet along the roads on each side that are unpaved and look absolutely ridiculous.
Please look at these photos and get the crew back out here to complete the job. We can not wait until next year for a chip seal, especially when it sounds like that probably won't happen.
In addition to that, I was told that chip seal is where gravel will be laid down on the roads. We do not want gravel roads! Our children ride bikes, scooters and walk our dogs on the
roads. We all take great pride in our yards and our town and would like our roads to look as nice as our homes and yards do. This is just not ok. Especially on Lindale where my home
is. We have sidewalks and the unfinished roads look absolutely awful. Please
send the crew back out and finish the paving over the entire road.
I appreciate your assistance with this and look forward to your response.
Regards,
Lisa Young
