Dear Mayor Westerson, I am writing with a complaint about the disrepair of River Creek Blvd. As a longtime resident of Bluff Point, I have noticed road becoming increasingly dangerous, including potholes, crumbling curbs, and worn paint on the lane lines and crosswalks, especially at the intersection of Sam Houston St. I wrote a letter to Scott Swain in the Public Works department a few months ag Although I did receive a letter of acknowledgement, the issue has not been addressed. This is a highly travelled road and I am worried about the safety of the people who use this intersection. I hope you make fixe this road a priority. Thank you for attention to this important issue. Sincerely, William Breton What is the author's intended purpose for this letter? To complain to the mayor about the general condition of the roads. O To ask the Public Works director for a street monitoring position. To persuade the mayor to fix a road that is in disrepair.
