Ask The Mayor

Q. - I wanted to know if there is any plan to have the road fixed on old Hwy 80 in the turning lane of the side entrance of the Walmart (in front of the Waffle house and Jack in Box).

 

The potholes in the middle of the turn around are so bad that it creats a problem for cars trying to get across. The problem has almost caused wrecks because the cars trying to cross have to be careful not to hit the potholes.

 

In the meantime the oncoming traffic on both sides almost hit you. They have to come to almost a complete stop to avoid hitting the person trying to cross, creating a chain reaction for others behind them.

 

Please have something done before someone gets hurt or even killed.

Answer - Thanks for your inquiry.

 

US 80 is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation.

 

Citizens can contact the TxDot office in Kaufman any time they observe a problem such as the one you pointed out.

Hal Richards, Mayor
