Thrill ride

From last night's District C budget hearing.
As the city looks to create next year's budget, residents said the city's streets are driving them away.

"Most of the streets are like roller coasters and we just want to know if there is any money or any intent to work on the streets in the Bocage subdivision," asked one woman.


She's not kidding either.



Actually the above photo is something I ripped off of NOLA.com back in 2004 but few will argue that there have been many improvements since that time.

The mayor said 2,321 potholes have been fixed, 633 street lights repaired and 131 catch basins cleaned out in District C.


Meanwhile over in District B we're still looking at this sinkhole which has been around since July 2010.

Only lately the orange cones have been removed which makes the thrilling prospect of backing one's car into a sudden drop all the more possible.
