The road, under agreement with the developer of homes in the area, Art Gregorson, should have been completed to city codes and accepted by the city many months ago, according to Shields, but negotiations with the developer have been what Shields called one hassle after another. The road is now breaking up in many spots, endangering passing motorists, he said.

In order to repair the road and make it safe for travel, Schofield said that either the entire stretch would have to be taken out and redone or the holes would have to patched again with a new filling of asphalt which he said would put the city "back into the same situation." With winter weather fast approaching, Shields said that the city could wait no longer and would have to take steps to ensure the safety of motorists. Asphalt cannot be laid in cold weather. The city is closing that section of Antelope and posting warning barricades near the worst of the section, according to Shields.
