Repaving projects are in high gear for the dry season. Everywhere I drive, it seems something is being ripped up, resurfaced and striped with paint.

But as quickly as repairs can be made, more are needed. I fear it’s doomed to be a never-ending dance.

At least we keep moving.

In a handwritten letter, one reader described the tricky process of avoiding the numerous manhole covers and potholes as “taking a defensive driving course on a daily basis.”

Ashley Drive’s obstacle route may now be smoothed over, but Kennedy Boulevard is still a mess. My most recent trip down that deplorable thoroughfare was a blur of swerving, bouncing and cursing.

I plan to map alternate routes for awhile, but not for too long.

Continuing my recent string of good news, last Friday I discovered the Florida Department of Transportation plans a Kennedy Boulevard resurfacing this fiscal year.

Oh, joyous day!

The project will smooth out Kennedy’s skin from North Brevard Avenue (that’s near Henderson Boulevard) to South Woodlynne Avenue (just a tad west of the Kennedy Drawbridge).

And hang on to your car seats – work could begin as soon as May.

Until then, I’ll be looking into reader concerns about Bayshore Boulevard’s pedestrian crossings and notorious bumpiness, as well as the continued impact of Manhattan Avenue’s widening.

Stay safe out there.
