none, , CorrespondenceLYNNE Sc TERRY RHODES 63 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS CALIFORNIA 90274 May 16, 2011 Dear Friends at the Rolling Hills Community Association: We are writing in regard to the re -paving or patching on Poruguese Bend Road South that is to begin on May 18, 2011. We recognize the need to periodically service the roadway to avoid undermining as a result of ground shifts in the area. In the past, we have seen two approaches to road repair: 1) resurfacing by a professioal asphalt company, and; 2) intermittent patching efforts by the Rolling Hills Maintenance group. While we are unsure of the approach to be implemented beginning May 18, we do understand that financial considerations likely play a role in such decisions. While the patching method may be more cost effective, the raised and irregular shaped patches result in jarring and uncomfortable conditions while driving. The irregular shaped patches create mounds that are not sufficiently rolled out to provide smoothe transition with the existing roadway, thus creating a very bumpy ride. We have a 90 year old mother with us a lot of the tiime and the way that the patching is done causes a bone -shaking and jolting ride. We have to come to an almost complete stop to traverse each raised bump. In addition to wear on our cars, it is also an unsightly solution. Therefore, the professional resurfacing is preferable to the patching. If budget permits, we respectfully request that the city consider professional resurfacing of the asphalt rather than the rough and uneven mounding to cover emerging cracks in the asphalt. Very Sincerely Yours, Terry and Lynne Macer Rhodes 63 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 (310) 544-3744 ci40//E?jAng wee JODY MURDOCK Mayor GINNY LEEUWENBURGH Mayor Pro Tern THOMAS F.
