Mathis Road paving

The Kiddy Up Ranch founder described the road as a 'mushpot' after rain, families quitting over vehicle damage, and fear of heavy trucks from the nearby Denton project.

Her disabled son in a power wheelchair may lose access to the ranch because their low-riding van can't survive the road; he signed 'bad, bad' when told.

Lives and teaches on the ranch property; family won't visit and her truck shocks are destroyed from hauling the horse trailer on the road.

Drives the road multiple times daily for work; potholes deflate her tires and limestone rusts her car's undercarriage.

A single mom who's paid thousands fixing axles, brakes and tires; told the board plainly: 'Pave the road. Do better.'

A parent whose minivan barely makes it; urged the county to redirect grading money toward paving, calling it 'the road to their success.'

Her grandsons attend Kiddy Up; the road aggravates her autistic son's stomach and allergy issues and torments their vehicles.
