Well then, since it's county jurisdiction, may I suggest an idea. Instead of your workers cutting slots in the concrete of M59, Walton, and other fresh paved roadways to put in the tar strips that eventually fail and clutter the roadway and lead to premature road failure (see Livernois between Tienken and Avon, or if you remember, Squirrel before the major re-do) how about having a few of them throw down some cold patch here. It's horrible and it always has been. I will try and attach a few pics, but is that really necessary? Nobody from OCRC has noticed this?

Good news: The road is finally being repaired, after many many years of neglect.
Bad news: The timing of the repairs couldn't be worse! Parallel roads are closed as well! Livernois closed completely at Avon. Rochester still under construction downtown. Add to that John R ends at Bloomer Park, and you have a real northbound mess on Adams (backs up two lanes past Walmart) and Squirrel (backs up past Cross Creek Parkway) and Dequindre (I've seen Avon intersection backed up past Hamlin).
Wonderful planning once again by the road commission! Wouldn't this be a great time to send out some patching crews to fix Livernois north of Avon (maybe I better not give them any ideas).

Ed: The Livernois bridge project was not planned to be constructed this year. However, with the very real threat that the bridge would have to be closed this year, we pushed very hard to have the bridge funding moved forward to this year. We knew that the Crooks project was going to take place this year, but we really had no choice. The alternative could have been that Livernois might have been closed for two years if the old bridge had deteriorated further and we had not fought to get the funding moved up. While the current situation is certainly not ideal, it is the lesser of the two evils from our point of view. The City administration agreed strongly with us on this and also pushed hard to get the Livernois bridge project moved to this year.
