Call the Pothole Patrol

Sun., June 3, 2012

It was obvious to me that the “Pothole Patrol” must not have driven up or down Rockwood Boulevard to arrive at their destination of 25th Avenue for their repairs. If they had they couldn’t have helped noticing the miserable conditions of Rockwood from 10th Avenue to Southeast Boulevard. It needs that 36-hour immediate attention, desperately, of the “Pothole Patrol.”

P.S. Are they ever going to pave the streets of Mount Vernon between 37th and 39th? Could they at least fill in the giant holes in those streets? The dirt from those streets that seeps into our homes is a constant aggravation I have lived with for almost 30 years!
