If the streets are "bruised and battered" maybe we should put the offenders in "prison." That's an incorrect and terribly insensitive choice of words, unless you're trying to make me feel pity for an anthropomophized roadway.
And how exactly is "paving a safety issue"? It's a convenience issue. Providing sidewalks for the most vulnerable street users is a safety issue.
Where did all the federal money for ADA handicap corner ramps and sidewalks go? Let me guess! Misdirected money for underground parking lots that are never used! Federal investigation of liberal city halls that have not followed federal-state program rules are needed and now we know why there are cuts in grants to states!!

Did I do that right?
