That would explain. There must be 20 potholes on 466A between BV & Morse.

First off when these potholes or whatever you'd like to call them start you should not come in and just patch it or it will just reappear in a short while. The correct way isvvto cut it out and replace the section but that requires more time, equipment and cost so usually the patch job is done and you move on to the next one. The County saves money and the people are quiet until the next batch appear. The increase in traffic on Morse, Buenna Vista etc. Should require more frequent surface grinding and resurfacing but unless someone puts the pressure on the County don't see that happening anytime soon. Way to many road projects in the works and on the planning table. Also the increase of big vehicles on these roads isn't helping either. Hopefully these streets never get as bad as the Northeast potholes. List a few tires & rims in those suckers

If you want potholes, go to Indiana, Ohio, or Michigan in March after a few freezes and thaws. There you will find potholes!

New York State too. The kind you could lose a VW in!
