There's a pedestrian entrance to Piedmont Park right there at Dutch Valley Place and Westminster Drive, in front of Orpheus Brewing.

The city says it will not pave the road, only maintain/repair it as it exists. So when the rain and cars create potholes, they just fill it with gravel. Seems like a better solution is to just pave it.

Any suggestions? Neighbors have already contacted 311 and their city council representative, but to no avail.

I have never seen the City paved an unpaved street. The cost is always paid by the adjacent owners. Consider gravel to be free traffic calming.
