Letter: Why aren't these roads getting fixed?

As a longtime resident of Salt Lake City and a bicyclist, I have observed that there are many streets in the city that are capable of causing one's fillings to shake out while riding. There are countless examples, one would be 900 South between 900 East and 1300 East.

The question becomes, why are they repairing Redwood Road between North Temple and 1000 North? That street is one of the smoothest streets in the city. Who makes these decisions? I believe an explanation is in order, and that the worst streets should be fixed first.
