STEUBENVILLE Efts Lane residents will tell you the drive home got a lot easier a couple years ago when the city paved their road.
“That street was a disaster for so many years,” one said. “It was no one’s fault, it was an unclaimed street riddled with potholes and dug up areas because every time the water or sewer line broke, they’d dig it up and re-patch it.
“Going from a street that was unclaimed to a street that gets improved, it’s made a tremendous difference.”
In addition to Effs Lane, council has paved three other unimproved streets Etta, Starkdale and Dresden and plans to do Canterbury Boulevard next, all of it paid for with 0.7 percent income tax revenue.
