SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
