All you guys that live in the Sacramento area

Write your assembly and senate representatives to complain about the atrocious job they did on Watt Ave. Three years, millions of dollars and it is falling apart 6 months later. The crosswalk at Watt and Butano is crumbling already, and it is pretty rough all along there

Thank you for your attention

That's nuttin.

All fing summer I put up with construction (cutting old pavement, grooving, sweeping and repaving) I-5 in Glenn County. One lane at a time.

The felony truckers have completely destroyed it in 5 months. Was in piles of gravel tonight with water-filled potholes. Some contractor is going out of business. Is about 25 miles of ruined brand new asphalt in shambles.

according to a knowledgable patient, this happens when they put the stuff down too thin to cut corners.

Your tax $$$ at work! Good luck changing it until the contractors are held to account.
