I have this to say about Mayor Whitmire: His incompetence gives our local news plenty to write and speak about. That is one way to get your name out there in public.
HOUSTON – Residents of a Sunnyside neighborhood in Houston are facing ongoing frustrations as road repairs, started months ago, remain incomplete.
According to locals, the issue has left them with no choice but to navigate only one side of the street, regardless of whether they’re coming or going. Despite submitting numerous 3-1-1 tickets, the situation remains unresolved.
Unfinished Construction Leaves Residents Struggling
Karen Coney, a concerned neighbor, explained that the street was partially repaired in late 2024, due to utility work in the area. However, the work was never fully completed.
“They did some construction work because utility work was going on in the sewage there. And it happened either December or January. They just left it like this,” Coney said.
..Coney has reached out to the City of Houston’s Public Works Department multiple times, submitting two 3-1-1 tickets. She was told that both tickets would be closed within 30 days, but when the tickets were closed, the repairs still hadn’t been made.
“I’ve called several times and nobody has answers. 3-1-1 told me that they didn’t know which department was responsible. It’s frustrating, and I just want answers,” she explained.
I do believe that the magic wand that Whitmire is using is not working.
