Auburn city officials expressed mounting frustration over deteriorating state roads and delayed repair projects during Thursday’s city council meeting. City Manager Jeff Dygert highlighted major damage to routes like the Arterial, Lake Avenue, and North Street after one of the harshest winters in years.
While Auburn’s public works crews fill potholes, city leaders say temporary fixes aren’t enough. A proposed $18 million state project to overhaul the Arterial has been postponed until 2026, while repairs to North Street have been shelved indefinitely.
Officials are urging local businesses to pressure state leaders for action.
