Fixing wrong roads

With all of the road construction in Spokane, one would think the potholes on multiple roads, including Francis Avenue and Bigelow Gulch, would be taken care of. The roads that are being worked on aren’t in the worst shape, and if the focus is set more on these roads that need the extra attention, then driving would be safer and wouldn’t damage as many vehicles.

The city may not have enough crew members to conduct such a project. There are many people willing to work, so it would give the city an opportunity to provide jobs. Also, there might be a lack of funds. I’m sure people would be willing to donate to such a project.

There are a number of unemployed citizens who are looking for jobs, and a project like this would be a great opportunity to provide more jobs for people. Money would be a major factor with this project. If the city focuses more on the streets that are in desperate need of repair and sets the other streets aside for a while, the money that would have been used on those streets would be used to fix the ones that need repair.
