JJ and other media outlets reported that a woman's SUV flipped after it struck a pile of gravel on Lynch Street.
The Public Works department repaired a water line that was several feet away from Lynch Street. The area is served by a well system. It was getting dark and it was decided not to turn off the water since that well served a nursing home and a child care center. Work would resume the next day and the water would be turned off as needed. The pile of gravel was left where it is seen in the picture posted above. Barricades were placed in front of the gravel. Although they did not appear in the picture posted below, Public Works employees found them in the nearby woods. It is thought that either the SUV or another vehicle knocked them out off of the road.
This account, of course, conflicts with the narrative put forth by a certain pothole specialist.
Pothole indeed.

The barrels that were in a pothole on West St disappeared several times. Once for 2 weeks.
Possible intentional 'vandalism' by some disgruntled contractors or beneficiaries of previous administrations? Or folks who used to claim to be in the pothole business but weren't licensed to be such?
Only the shadow knows.
What ever the facts may be, it is very obvious that the city of Jackson does not exercise many if any safety measures. Back in the 80's, when a broken stoplight was repaired w/in hours, not days / weeks......a severe pothole / waterline break / pile of gravel would have had a proper barricade configuration laid out around it, and it would have also had safety lights to alert those approaching.
Yes, a vandal or vandals are removing these caution barriers. I've noticed that along my beaten paths, the objects are there one afternoon and gone the next.
I suspect, because they are no where to be seen, there weren't enough stupid teens in the car who wanted them for room decoration.
Parents, if you find one in your son's room, march it and his fanny down to the police station.

You've personally witnessed the removals?

Still can't believe the NON-redneck powers-that-be allow this crap to occur over and over.
9:08 lol
I've seen lots of stuff in dorm rooms and other places but never a barricade. Are you sure you want to offer that suggestion? Is that really your final answer?
Ah yes - vandals and a conspiracy theory to make Jackson leadership look bad. That's has to be it.
1257, you obviously aren't listening to the "black leadership" across the tracks. There are plenty of those folks that want to make this administration look bad, and openly talk about it. Take some time off and listen to some of the black talk radio station programs- you obviously need the education.
And I am not a supporter of this administration. Or the last. Or the one before that for that matter. But a lot of the problems in Jackson is the jealousness that exists in the various factions, and for some (i.e. Marcus Wallace) its a financial based issue. Many of them would do much more than remove a few barricades if they thought it would shame this administration (or any other administration that is not 'theirs').
