Description
This road has gone into disrepair, since the trucks carrying thousands of pounds of dirt that were being transported from the Yale University Residential colleges to the Yale Golf Course property. The main transport route utilized Laurel Road & Marvelwood Drive. During and after the transport of the thousands of pounds of dirt, the street went into complete disrepair. We the community are requesting that Marvelwood Drive be considered for immediate paving.

Actually, the road has been a mess for years. This was true even before all the trucks carrying fill to the golf course ran over it for months and months, making it even worse. I have reported potholes in the past; they get filled, then they open up again, and new ones form besides. The city does not, really cannot, keep up with all the ravages to the pavement. The surface is bad even in warm-weather months.
This road carries traffic headed not only to streets immediately adjacent to it, but to the whole Kohary/Stevenson neighborhood off of Conrad Drive, the whole Curtis Drive / Judwin Avenue neighborhood, and, especially, as a shortcut used by hundreds of cars headed to Woodbridge. It is a terrible embarrassment to the city, but more to the point, it is an ongoing obstacle to its users.
Please, Public Works, find a way to mill and completely resurface the entire length of this road, from Vista Terrace to Knollwood Drive.

The road has been in terrible condition for many years. Potholes appear, they get refilled, then they open up again, and new ones form besides. The roadway needs to be milled and repaved all the way from Vista Terrace to Knollwood Drive. No other solution will adequately address or solve the problem that has been allowed to fester for so long.
The road is a heavily traveled route, used by cars not only going back and forth from its immediate neighborhood, but also by cars trying to bypass Fountain street going to and from Woodbridge. It should be considered a high-priority item for any anticipated repaving schedule.

Please repave Marvelwood Rd from Vista Terrace to Ray Rd in both directions. It is in really bad shape.
Than you

Wait -- Do I understand this correctly? The city is CLOSING this issue? In spite of multiple reports by multiple people over multiple years? In spite of reports by our alder himself? In spite of the city knowing it needs to keep filling potholes in a ravaged roadway over and over and over again?
This issue needs to remain open, please.
