The following letter was sent to Laurel Mayor Craig Moe:
The condition of Cherry Lane from Van Dusen to Route 197 continues to be a driving irritant to me and others. Extensive and expensive "repairs" continue to be made with little if any improvement in the actual driving conditions of that street; one of the most traveled streets of our city. This past summer major "repairs" were done with entire sections removed and redone. These very areas are now bumpier and rougher than before. I contacted your office and a public works official who checked, and I was told the contractor followed work contract guidelines. God only knows what those must have been.
I travel many streets in our city and find similar/same repairs having been done without bumps, lumps, washboard. Those improvements are wonderful. Why can't Cherry Lane be given the same attention and improvement?
