BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Ashley Engle in the Midway neighborhood. Right now, I’m, standing on Mine Road which is one of the roads that Midway leaders are planning to pave. I spoke to one woman who lives on this road, and she says, ” Thank you! Thank you, Lord Jesus, that they are finally doing it!”
It’s a project that’s been a long time coming.
“We’ve been getting promise after promise that they were going to do it and now it’s finally getting done.”
Emma Lee says she and other neighbors have been asking the city to do it for over 20 years. Emma and I took a walk down mine road, and she showed me how run-down it was.
The first thing I noticed: it wasn’t paved. It’s a dirt road.
“We’re tired of driving through mud when its wet we are tired of dust flying all over the place when its dry.”
