Subdivision residents seek county road adoption in West Odessa
About 30 residents of a ten year old West Odessa subdivision petition commissioners to adopt and maintain neglected streets. Burton Rose says 29 residents signed the request to appear on Monday's agenda, arguing after seven years of taxes they deserve grater road service. Roads remain unincorporated and deteriorated since the developer failed to meet county standards. The streets are private and patrols by DPS and sheriff depend on invites, as school buses have complained.
