S’port/Bossier Says These 20 Potholes Need Attention Now
Admittedly, taking on the subject of the worst potholes or bumps in the Shreveport/Bossier City area was a lot tougher than I first suspected.
Why tough? How was I going to narrow this to twenty?
Taking to the radio and our Facebook page, we had opened the floodgates of complaints regarding these terrible potholes throughout the area.
However, it was one lady's phone call that won the morning! She told us that while the pothole she encountered in the Benton area was bad enough, it was the way the work crew handled it that was the real newsmaker here.
She told us that they were painting the yellow stripes along this stretch of the road and they literally just painted over the pothole! Obviously not one of Louisiana's brightest was in charge of this one.
Each year we take the time to identify these hazardous areas on our roads for a couple of reasons.
The number one reason is in hopes that those unfamiliar to that area can be aware of the issue in the event they happen to find themselves around it.
And secondly, it's our hope that those in charge of fixing these bumps, holes, tire-flattening, wreck-causing areas, will look a little deeper into fixing these problems before someone gets seriously injured or dies.
So, heads up to those decision makers. You can't say you didn't know!
Shreveport/Bossier has spoken and told us these are the 20 potholes/bumps need your attention NOW!
