Yes

I cannot tell what the "SS21" project entails.
We were promised renewed rolled curbs and some sidewalk repairs, followed by replacement of our road bed, which has been badly in need of replacement for MANY years. The curbs and sidewalk repairs were done, but the curbs varied a great deal in terms of height; many residents are complaining about scraping the undercarriage of their cars when going in and out of driveways.
Next, the manhole covers were removed to prepare for the roadbed replacement. For ~four months, I stared at a really ugly manhole cover left dead center in front of my house, making both parking and trash-can placement difficult. Then suddenly, we were sent postcards saying the City had run out of money because it overspent on a project somewhere else in town, and that our roadway would not be replaced until 2022! Many of our neighborhood's roads were replaced this year but not Sunnybrae Blvd., even though our street is the main one in this area, and it suffered a lot of damage from the trucks that built Arbor Rose. (Wasn't Arbor Rose supposed to pay for that damage to be fixed?)
Since the roadbed was not being replaced, someone decided to replace the manhole covers. However, the crew that did that work did not clean up after themselves, leaving huge chunks of broken-off roadway where the displaced manhole covers had been, and a big cleanup project for ME!
Where was the City's oversight on this project? And why penalize our neighborhood for overspending elsewhere?
