I'll assume you're correct and the bridge was repaired to meet minimum standards and was paid for by disaster relief. By your own admission raising the bridge, approach, etc... Would cost much more. Is it possible the town did not have the funds? The Liberty way bridge would be a hugely impactful project increase rateables, ease congestion, etc.., but the cost is prohibitive. <br /> <br />2) you personally may pay more in taxes. However , that is a poor argument as I would guess the collective taxes for Petty Rd do not approach the collective taxes for Shadow Oaks, Wynnwood, cranbury Green, the warehouse districts, etc... Going down the path of repairs based on tax value is dangerous.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-sp08</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, May 6 2014, 9:53 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Petty Road Flooding and Condition</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Fiscally Irresponsib-4091 wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">The repair was made but no improvement to allow greater flow to the bridge.
