Street left mangled

I am extremely unsatisified with the poor quality of work done on Presidio Drive.

A Simi Valley Public Works inspector gave it the O.K. He really stabbed us in the back!

We finally had our street repaved nicely a couple of years ago. Then his people came in and did a job that involved tearing our nice street out and leaving it in much poorer quality than they first found it. They only repaved one side of the street, not the entire street!  The side that had more scarring and painting was left ugly and undone!

After working on our street for about three or four months, all they had to do was to take one more six-hour day and complete the job! It’s inexcusable, disgusting and unforgivable!

With the price of real estate these days, you would think that they could at least make the street look nice to go along with the overpriced cost of some of these homes.

Anyway, this company and this city should come out here and finish the job right. They should have some kind of American pride in their work and in their city. They left us a major eyesore. We didn’t even want this to start with! They should have repaired the street properly, and, at the very least, repaved the entire street and put it back to the way they found it when they got here.

Now it has survey paint all over the place. It has cracks and ruffles in the asphalt from the big rigs speeding and braking up and down it for months. It has scars from the trenches they dug across it and only patched. There is no reason for this not to be done right! We built better streets in Baghdad!

Nobody on this street is happy with this poor excuse of a job.
