The Roads We’re Tired of Driving

The suspensions that deserve better!

If you live in Tuolumne County, chances are you’ve got at least one road that makes you flinch. Maybe it has a pothole the size of a canoe. Maybe it gets plowed three days after the storm. Or maybe it’s just where your coffee always spills on the way to work.

We all have that road.

This week, I want to hear about yours.

Let’s Make a List (and yes, check it twice)

Here’s the idea:

We’re building a list of the worst roads in District Three and we’re not just complaining. This list will be part of my push to help the county prioritize road repairs more effectively and communicate better with the public.

But we might as well have a little fun while we’re at it.

So tell me…

  • What road makes your teeth rattle

  • Where does it flood every time it rains

  • What stretch of washboard makes your suspension cry

  • What icy hill turns into a sled track every winter

Bonus points for photos. Even more bonus points for funny photos.

Why This Matters

Most of District Three sits above 4,000 feet and we deal with snow, runoff, and aging infrastructure that needs real attention. The spots that are below 4,000 feet aren’t any better. I know, I’ve seen it, and heard from you.

But I have heard from the horses mouth that repairs only come after complaints. The county needs a better system, but maybe we could flood the system with the worst parts of District 3 (and beyond)

With your voice, your photos, and your least favorite left turn.

How to Send Your Road Rant

Fill out the form below and hit send. It’s that easy. I’ve built a system to catch all the information and I can send it directly to the county. How great is that?!

Include the road name, the issue, and a quick line about why it matters. You can be serious. You can be sarcastic. You can be both.

I’ll compile your submissions, highlight the biggest pain points, and keep pressing for practical solutions.

We deserve roads we’re not afraid to drive on
We deserve plows that come before the thaw
We deserve a county that listens when the gravel starts eating our tires

Happy Holidays and let’s make some noise!

Gratefully,
Tim
