Sounds like Mayor Cranley is listening to the people who want basic services to be improved before launching more money-spending ventures. To a driver who has become utterly sick of bouncing over steel plates from the Duke gas main project and even more aggravated by the terrible state of the roads AFTER Duke "patches" the trenches they've dug, more money for street paving sounds wonderful!
We shall see what happens when the budget dust settles. But right now, I like what I'm hearing.
