FOR ROOSEVELT STREET RESIDENTS, A GLIMMER OF HOPE


After years of making do with pothole patches, the City of Brownsville administration finally decided this January to implement a more permanent solution. On Tuesday, a paving contractor and Public Works supervisors huddled with engineers form the Brownsville Public Utilities Board to pave the stretch between McDavitt and 14th Street.


For the meantime, traffic on McDavitt east has been detoured around Keith Street and to Arthur Street on the south and then around to 13th.

"We're going to do the stretch between 13th and the railroad (around Keith Street) first and then we're going to do from the railroad to McDavitt," said a PUB engineer.

Now there's actually a glimmer of light at the end of the pothole-pocked tunnel. The city hopes the job can be done before the beginning of the school year to accommodate school buses. That was the plan, anyway. And neighborhood residents hope the rest will be finished soon so they can get back to their normal lives.

Juan they've been working on that street for over a year. The state paved over 60 miles of service roads over night and these bozos with their lies have taken over a year to pave this street.
