The old Pasodale neighborhood not only lacks sidewalks but there are no gutters. The stormwater has nowhere to go when it rains but in the streets.

"Anytime it rains. If it just rains a little, for five minutes hard rain, everything floods," said Judy Ross.

Ross grew up in the Pasodale area and she said, ever since she can remember, the streets of her neighborhood have flooded.

"I think that's a concern with the kids, walking to school and back, they can't use that street, that's automatically out," said Ross.

Now, as a mother, she worries about her daughter's walk home from school because there are no sidewalks. But city representative Steve Ortega said the problems is bigger. He says the neighborhoods need curbs and gutters, underground sewage pipes and lighting.

"Unfortunately when this subdivision was built years ago, those requirements weren't made available because they were made under county standards," said Ortega.

Ortega said the neighborhood will be up to city standards starting this year as a $10 million project is under way to improve the 10 streets in the Pasodale area.

"I would like to see sidewalks too. My concern is my daughter when she goes to school and back," said Ross.

The project is scheduled to start in late November, and it should take several years to complete.
