This week, a reader wants to know what recourse she has if her car is damaged by a road hazard, an Arizona resident wonders why it is taking so long to improve the stretch between state Route 163 and Railroad Pass; and a man wants to know when the heck Eastern Avenue will be repaved.
I’m the fourth Road Warrior to pen this column since its inception. And the first woman.
And now the end is here. This is my last column as your Road Warrior.

This week, readers want to know about the construction on Industrial Road under Interstate 15, and when the Cheyenne Avenue onramp to northbound I-15 will open. Also, the Road Warrior anticipates a question readers will be asking next week. And at least one driver seems to extend a kind greeting to law enforcement officers via a personalized plate.
