Every county, city, town or village in the world has some sort of street or road system to allow people to move themselves and their products safely from one place to another. It doesn’t matter if you use a horse drawn cart as they do in some areas, a gasoline/diesel-powered vehicle or an electric vehicle as some people do, you still need a road to travel on. The city of Lompoc is no different. There are 130 miles of city-maintained streets and alleyways in Lompoc, and on April 6 the City Council discussed a five-year plan for road maintenance projects. The picture painted by the assistant public works director wasn’t pretty.
