(Ed.'s Note: It's been nearly 10 months since work began on the paving of the section of Roosevelt Street from McDavitt Blvd. to 13th Street. a notoriously bad stretch of road that would chronically be pocket with potholes every time it rained.
The patchwork performed by the City of Brownsville Public Works Dept. would erode every time it rained. The city was literally throwing money down the drain in manpower and materials. A supervisor at the scene said that August 28 was the contractor's target date to finish the stretch.
The crews finished the section next to Victoria Elementary to the old railroad right-of-way before the beginning of school August 14, but it will be another two weeks before the stretch from the railroad to McDavitt is scheduled for completion.
However, they will be allowed to set back the completion if rain prevents them from working during that time. One improvement will be that the street was widened by two feet.
Residents have been extremely patient during the construction. They all remember how Roosevelt broke up after even a slight rain. They can't get it fixed fast enough.)

At this rate they will finish repaving the city going into the next century. While the city engineering are changing street signs. MAMONES
We'll soon have a city engineer as assistant city manager unless the city manager wants to bring another novia friend from up north.
Folks ya mero, got to make it long to have work, be quiet
Two feet more wide? Well guess what? Those two feet are for bike and hike trails, forget about the cars making head way in a city that the bike and hike trails are taking all the roads for themselves. Millions for bike and hike trails but zero for roads in Brownsville.
No shame a city with no sidewalks but bike trails all over NO SHAME NO SHAME we need to vote all these idiota out.
What schools they are closing doen all the barrio schools and senting the students to the anglo schools. It should be the other way around sent all the white students to the southmost schools idiotas
What about the bus shelters oh not important here. Name each bus shelter with an gringo name see how many are built.
Yes finally this road was fixed.. what for the students at Victoria Heights won"t be attending that school no more.
Its like paving the road on boca chica beach - pendejos o un callejon en el southmost
Get rid of some gringo named schools idiotas where's the cheese?
Victoria was that the name of the lady that visited that shack the blue jeans bought and place by PD? Appropriate place
