Pot Holes

[justjim]

Recently I have noticed several potholes on Morse Blvd. between lake Sumter bridge and 466A. Several potholes were filled a couple weeks ago but already need filled again. Others have been made the last few days and have not been filled with temporary asphalt.

Nobody is Likely to lose a tire or anything on their car by hitting one of these potholes but a Motorcycle or a bicycle should be careful not to lose control as they drive this stretch of Morse Blvd.

Sumter County knows about the problem but has yet to permanently deal with it. In almost 10 years of living in The Villages, I have not seen a major road with an issue like this. Hopefully, it will be addressed soon before an unsightly stretch of Morse Blvd. turns much worse and causes a serious accident or damage to personal property.

There are also pot holes on BV down by 466A, and several on 466A between BV and Morse. first time in four years we've seen a pot hole!

Yes, it is interesting that these are cropping up now. I wonder if "lowest bidder" syndrome is setting in..........

More likely than lowest bidder is that it just takes time to get things rolling....patience, I thought, would have been common amongst those who have experienced so much in life. Apparently with the internet chat rooms/forums those who have very little patience must always voice their complaints before checking into when it might be done with those doing the work. Then posting the problem and solution so that if it's unsatisfactory might be addressed responsibly. No such luck.

For some folks it seems whining has become a very large part of their lives and knowing that misery loves company attract like minded complainers to chime in on every little incident. There was a time when holding your tongue unless it was truly important was considered a virtue. Now the tongues are flapping full time. What a shame. The internet is the backyard fence of the gossips and purveyors of misery. Oh whoa is you. :-)

I hope not. These "lesions in the pavement" really need to be kept up with otherwise they will turn into full blown bone-jarring, damage causing potholes. It really would be a big shame for everything to be as well kept as it is and vehicles start having to dodge those tacky things.

Come on, Sumter County Road Dept., get with the repair program.......

Those damn holes in the road on the right turn lane on BV turning onto 466a have been there several months; squeaky wheels get the grease; that's how things have evolved into these days. In the last 10 years prior to here I lived in IL. and MO. and the road crews there jumped all over road conditions before they got out of hand and people started raising hell.

Yup I would be thinking the same thing send those old boy's over to Lowes and buy some bags of blacktop patch and fill them holes. It's a little more involved than that for it to be done correctly. The difference between the inferno that is your summer and the prolong cool weather now makes previous patches pop like a tooth filling. If the material is not extremely hot when applied and tamped or rolled then the patch won't last long. If you see them using cold patch its a homeowner job at best. I rest my case. Road departments prioritize job's so if you don't cry you don't get capiche?:swear:
