Letter to the editor


Voice of the people
Agrees with letter on roads
Kudos to Deborah Smith of West Point for her
letter regarding the ridiculous condition of the
roads in Mississippi.
It really doesn’t matter what county or city you
are in, the roads are terrible. I liked her idea about
an added gas tax which wouldn’t be felt too badly.
Whatever steps we need to take, it is past time to
do so. Our vehicles are paying the price. And, I
often think of those people who have serious back
problems and just wonder how they can tolerate
riding on our roads.
I could readily point out roads in our particular
part of town which are absolutely ridiculous, but
it probably won’t make any difference. Our city
officials say they are trying to cut expenses, but
that’s a laugh! Like myself, how often do you see
a city of Columbus vehicle with 4 to 5 people in it
just seemingly riding the streets? Are they actually
looking for problem areas? I would hope so, but I
do wonder.
Not only are city and county roads in rough con-
dition, but if you travel on 82 - either direction - you
will have a very bumpy ride. I can readily remem-
ber when this road was finally finished between
Columbus and Tuscaloosa. And I do mean finally!
Some places on it are terrible. And, yes, I know
that we are only supposed to ride in the left lane
when passing however, I admit that I often do it to
try to avoid the really rough road on the outside
lane. I watch in the rear view mirror of my car at
the upcoming traffic, and if I see someone getting
close to me I signal and move to the right so that
person can pass.
I’ve pointed out this complaint in the past, but
am lead to do so again. Everyone (or at least 90% of
us) are on the streets and/or roads on a daily basis.
Why can’t the condition of such be more important
Mississippi voices
than walking tracks, soccer fields, etc.? I’m not
opposed to either of these, but I do take a dim view
of them when our streets are in such bad repair.
