I’ve reached my limit. The roads in Huntington, WV are so bad that they’re ruining my vehicle. Every single day, my car faces new damages, costing me a fortune that I can scarcely afford to keep paying. I am exhausted by juggling repair bills that shouldn’t be a part of my monthly budget. Like many others in our community, each drive feels like navigating a minefield.

We all know it’s not just an inconvenience—it’s a hazard. According to a report from the American Society of Civil Engineers, West Virginia’s infrastructure received a grade of D, highlighting major deficiencies, particularly with road conditions. Potholes, uneven surfaces, and poorly maintained streets are a serious safety concern and pose a threat to the well-being of all drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in Huntington.

Taxpayers in our city deserve better! Where is our money going if not to ensure we have safe, drivable roads? It’s time the local government hears our plea and takes immediate action to prioritize fixing our streets. The cost of doing nothing far outweighs the investment needed to improve them.

I urge the Huntington City Council and our Mayor to allocate sufficient resources for immediate road inspections and repairs. Let’s establish a detailed plan and schedule for fixing the worst sections and maintaining them regularly. Consult with engineers and urban planners to ensure these roads are built to last.

Please join me in demanding action. Sign this petition to call on city officials to prioritize the repair and maintenance of our roads, making them safe for everyone. It’s time to stop the damage on our vehicles and the risks to our safety.
