As a local community leader, I find it deeply concerning and personal how our beloved business owners and fellow residents of Lubbock, Texas, are negatively affected by the prolonged construction delays on 19th Street. The intention behind this ongoing project was to boost our infrastructure and accessibility. But unfortunately, we have been faced with severe difficulties and disruptions. Our local economy is suffering, quality of life has nosedived, and the effects are far-reaching into the livelihoods of those businesses. It is time to engage The City Council and TxDOT to acknowledge our plight and act quickly. Let’s make our voices heard and urge them to prioritize resolving these delays for the betterment of our community. Please sign this petition.
