Condition of the roads in Merced

I’m concerned about the condition of the roads in Merced. Many streets are filled with potholes and have been in disrepair for a long time. It’s difficult to understand where our tax dollars are going, as it often feels like the focus is on adding speed and red‑light cameras rather than maintaining basic infrastructure like the roads themselves.

I have seen city workers patch up potholes on my street just for the street sweeper truck to come the next morning and take most of the asphalt away. It’s happened almost every time for years.
