Almost four months after the water main broke in front of my house and this gigantic hole still exists. I of course avoid it, but it is fun to watch people barrel down my street and hit it for the first time. There has been no contractors to measure or look at it, there hasn’t even been anybody from the city to at least fill it with more gravel. I guarantee if this hole was in my front yard, code enforcement would have been on me like stink on shit.
What’s the pothole hotline again?
Get those underage narcs to come write up a report!
I’m guessing Huether doesn’t like you. Good luck with calling it in. There’s no valid complaint process. It got erased with police internal affairs, city employee complaints, & mayoral recall process. Since Huether, ordinances & charter were changed. It’s Huethers government. We have no voice.
Sorry but Public Works won’t spend time on your quiet residential street because it’s too busy f’ing up EVERY primary road through downtown. Honestly, the road construction mess is either incompetent planning or an intentional directive by MMM to portray as “progress” in a re-election year. Either way, it’s asinine.
Hey quit your bitchin’ the mayor has a civic center to pay for.
Helga is right! You need to buck-up and do your part. We gotta get that thing done so we can have five more concerts a year. A tiny hole in front of YOUR house is a pretty small price to pay.
367-8002 (# to report potholes)
Chislic is correct. Somehow – and I am starting to think intentionally – every east/west street through DT has road construction. The Mayor promotes that he is about DT – but this is almost sabotage to an area that thrives in these months. Seriously – you can’t space these out? You sure can.
As far as your pothole – that seriously makes me LMAO. You and JT Nelson will have crap fixed by your homes when hell freezes over. Heil!
Plant some corn in it.
Hire your own contractor. You’re responsible for it financially anyhow. It’s just like a sidewalk, or a boulevard tree.
I’m guessing a small patch isn’t a priority, and the weather we have been having has caused delays on most of the existing projects underway – so we can expect to see orange cones and detour signs for quite a while.
I’d love to complain about it, but the truth is the repairs and improvements being made are necessary. We have all been complaining about the state of disrepair our roads and sewers have been in for the past several years, and now that the city is taking action some of the same people are still complaining.
You just can’t please some people.
Keep in mind they can’t do much of this type of work in the winter – and they can’t do it when it is raining, and they can’t do it until the ground dries. It all takes time, but they are making a LOT of progress and as frustrating as it is to see single lane traffic on many of our major streets, it is more frustrating to see massive cracks and potholes and chunks of missing concrete on many of the roads that currently aren’t under repair.
The longer we wait, the more damage has to be fixed later, and the higher the cost. Let’s just be thankful that we have finally got to the point where we are trying to be a bit more proactive when it comes to maintenance.
Plant corn in it. That’s a good one.
Hire it patched, send the city the bill.
Fill with sand, a community cat box.
Finally, a place for unenforceable citations.
Huether’s shortcut to Red China.
A plot for Zamby bananas?
Zamby noticed the 10th & 11th St repair is as rough as cart trails in Zambia
Did one of my DaCola foot soldiers call this in? They are out there right now fixing the hole.
Zamby wants to know how smooth the repair is
