How to get the city to pave our road?

Question

For the past few years our road has been rapidly deteriorating. The city hasn't paved it and after the recent winter storms, snowplows, and road salt, it is like driving over gravel. It is the nicest neighborhood in the city. Its sort of a suburb. Everyone agrees it needs paved. Should we start a petition? Anybody have any ideas?

Answer 2

Tell them it is a safety issue.  Tell them why it is a safety issue.  If it is not repaved it is a accident waiting to happen.  If they been told it is a safety issue and there is an accident because of the poor condition of the road there could be a liability issue.  That will get there attention.
