Ventura’s $531 Million Budget Includes $13.3 Million for Road Repairs Amidst Resident Frustrations
Congrats to the Ventura CC for adopting the $531 million dollar budget. But the HIGHLIGHT of it all was bringing the total budget for road repairs in 2024-2025 to $13.3 million. We lost our home in the Thomas Fire back in 2017. So did 60 other homeowners just on my street Colina Vista. To date the same street has never been re patched, oiled, stripped. At a transportation meeting last year with the city, I was told that my street is not on their roadway repair list and we should plan not see anything positive in future repairs/improvements for 10 years. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Hey Bill Ayub, I will not live that long. Currently every Saturday night I mix up a hot batch of quick drying cement and repair in front of my, and my neighbors houses with a slurry of mix. One day my mail person truck dropped into a hole so sharp and deep that it broke the vehicles front axle and blew the tire. Finally, please stop sending the city’s street sweeper up and around the Ondulando area every 2 weeks. All that gets accomplished is tearing up old, cracked wore out, broken asphalt which has cracked my wife’s car windshield on 2 separate occasions. Have to run to Lowes and pick up tonight’s cement to patch once again.
