Speak up: Road work in Scottsdale

Scottsdale is wasting money putting temporary patches on dilapidated roads with tar striping and pothole filling. Raintree Road is a hazard to drive on. The patch work makes our city look third-class. Why not take what money is left in 2025 and overlay roads properly, then keep going with the 2026 budget?
