Getting Tulsa's potholes fixed

We are going to continue to have road problems in Tulsa. As long as you have the same contractors doing the same "skip a few steps" sub quality repairs. They want us to pay them more money(via property taxes)to fix roads, that they have been paid to repair (poorly) for years. Our roads are all being repaired by merely spreading thin layers (1" -1 1/2") of asphalt over the existing broken roads. Other cities with "real" winter weather use reclaimers. Reclaimers scrape the surface of the road in need of repair, leaving a great bonding surface. They are skipping this step & asking for more $$$$$$. This is why our freshly paved roads break up w/in two years. They simply break up & lift off the old damaged roads, in most cases leaving big potholes. We should be suing for gross neglagence. The road contractors,bribed inspectors & the field engineers for allowing our community to fall into such dangerous commutes.

The 169 North to 51 West interchange is almost good! Just a two foot seam along the eastern edge of 169 as your leaving is all that is crumbling now. That should be an easy weekend fix. The guys that just roofed my house could probably do it in four hours.
