It sure would be nice if they worked on Sorrento Road between Bauer Rd. and
Innerarity Pt. Rd. The potholes are already bad and get worse with each rain.
It’s not easy trying to avoid them. This road gets a lot of traffic, especially in the summer with beach traffic, and in addition to all the construction happening in this part of the county. Thanks.
What a blessing to drive on Nine Mile and 29 without orange barrels (for the most part).
Now, please widen northbound Pine Forest from interstate to 9 Mile, and do something with those coming from Detroit at Pine Forest who merge into southbound traffic that has already been waiting for 20 minutes, and our area will be go to go–for a while!
