Hi Scott, I spoke to you a couple weeks ago and you tried to explain why the roads are not completed. You stated that, that is how the projects are managed and that it will be completed next year. As seen in the pictures previously, the roads look horrible and were not paved from gutter to gutter. So, I am curious as to why Durham's roads were just paved and they did a beautiful job where the pavement went gutter to gutter in the whole neighborhood. Why does our neighborhood look half completed and Durham's neighborhood looks beautiful? We are both county neighborhoods so there shouldn't be a difference. We are just sounhappy and seeing the roads in Peterson Estates in Durham really has us confused and frustrated that our roads look awful and as if the job was just abandoned. I have attached the roads just completed in the last couple weeks in Durham. Please explain. We deserve more!

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 thestate 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 Young530.864.6763

where the pavement went gutter to gutter in the whole neighborhood. Why does our
