To date, I am still waiting on the repaving of my street. Storm drains were put in on both sides of the street between my neighbor and myself. However, our street still floods just the same. I contacted the street department, spoke with a gentleman who came out and looked at the situation and told me that they never \"graded\" (sp) the street in order for the water to be able to even get to the drain to alleviate the flooding. There is a sinkhole in the street that keeps getting patched up; only so the buses turning around in the church parking lot to destroy the patch again. In between my other next door neighbor and myself there is a manhole that is not secure. Every time a car goes over this manhole it makes a thundering noise. My daughters have to listen to this throughout the night and find it hard at times to even fall asleep. In closing I want to say that the street was left in worse shape than it was before they did any work on it. I am a homeowner who was taken advantage of by the Neighborhood Housing Partnership and have come to terms with the \"hit in the head\" we received on the deal. I have even had to put concrete parking stoppers along the front of my street to keep cars from driving right onto the grass and tearing it up. I take extreme pride in my home and the very least I should be able to get is some truth when it comes right down to it. After the first go round on the construction completion, I received another letter stating that another division of the project was soon to get under way and that my street would be included in that project. My street is a disgrace to me. For someone who pays property taxes, the property that I have to drive on and flooding that I have to live with is deplorable. Maybe the government needs to be notified about the quality of work and broken promises that home owners are getting from our local government. I have the proof to report it............seriously contemplating !

Let's hope he does his homework and "watchdogs" this contract like the legal eagle he is....
