C.R. streets require immediate attention

I am excited about the new street improvement announced in the new medical district.

I am curious to see an announcement of street repairs to streets heavily damaged by the recent heavy rains.

The only progress I have noticed are red cones marking the holes. Soon some of the streets will be impassable.

Seems like the city leaders might want to be focusing on this before partnering with the medical district to beautify and enhance that area.

Winter will be here sooner than we think and I think plowing will be difficult, if not impossible.

I feel bad for the city workers who will be attempting to clear what is left of our streets.
