That road is getting real bad with numerous cracks, buckles, and dips in the broken asphalt paving.

Rather than repair the road, maybe the state could just give out $750 to every poverty owner and we can all go out shopping on craigslist for a 1996 Geo Tracker because that's the right car for this Meredith Neck Rd. ....... back in 1996, it was a nice smooth road.......I-tells-ya!

http://www.laconiadailysun.com/.../n...ctmen-frustrat... another non-working link.....ahem! .....so just try googling: "Meredith Officials Frustrated-Laconia Daily Sun" to read about the Meredith Neck Rd and ajoining Barnard Ridge Rd, both state owned roads, and both in rough shape.

"Meredith Officials Frustrated State Won't Fix 'Neck' Roads" is the article title and it is not dated......someone smarter than me.....can you figure out when it was published?
They should just patch the pot holes once in a while and leave the rest alone. The areas that are rough make good speed bumps and if they smooth that road out people will be going over the 40 MPH speed limit.
The bumps have probably saved a few animal and people from being run over by someone going nowhere in a hurry.
Even if they spend millions of dollars fixing it up the road will be in disrepair again in a few years.
