Description
When is the city going to repave Oakwood Ave?? It is an embarrassment to the city that it has been neglected for so long. There are patches over patches--some 3-4 deep! It is beyond being merely an inconvenience, and is actively dangerous to navigate around.
When this issue was raised last, the city promised that work would begin, "next month (July) as soon as the storm drains are clear." That work has yet to begin. When can we expect to see some progress?

With respect, that is simply not good enough. Why isn't the West side, from the Parkway to Jordan being addressed? The road is just as bad, if not worse.
The West side of Oakwood has almost twice the population density as compared to the East side, and has additional stresses like overloaded quarry trucks that use the road.
I challenge anyone to drive up and down the street and then say it's not an issue. It is dangerous, and needs to be addressed. We want to know when ALL of Oakwood will be repaved.

We don't need patches, we need a new road. From the Parkway to Jordan the road is Nasty. Having to Dodge potholes is not safe.

Drove west on Oakwood from 565 to Jordan, and the section from Pulaski Pike to Jordan isn't that bad. Now, it looked like eastbound from Jordan to Pulaski Pike might be a little rough, but it looked to be in better shape than Madison Pike near the Royal Pines apartments!
Maybe this section of Oakwood is *not* on the next repaving list?
