There are two deteriorating areas in front our home on S. Kings Court. They were repaired once by the street department several years ago and have returned. I believe the one near my driveway is made worse each time the city garage truck pulls in to empty our cans. The top two to three inches of the road surface is torn away and it is starting to tear into the bottom layers. The other in the middle of the street is about three feet long and 6 to 8 inches deep. When my the city last repaired these sections, they coated the areas with hand thrown mix and tapped it down by hand…IT LASTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS! It was a bandaid patch, folks! Isn't it more cost effective to fix these potholes correctly the first time…?
The street in front of our house at 3237 Bradshire Court has been repaired numerous times. Another chunk of the last patch the city did has again broken near the curb. Maybe it is time to completely repave our street or at least patch it again.

pothole is located on East Kensington Park Drive just west of my home at 3131 E. Kensington Park Drive. More specifically, it is at the south end of the island in the cul de sac midway down Kensington Park Drive as you travel east.
With the realignment of Weatherstone Drive where it meets Hillside, please consider smoothing out the low curb at the entrance to Olive Street on the other side of Hillside--maybe just a little asphalt ramp. I cross Hillside there on my bicycle every day. It's rough on a bike if you can't get over to go across on the manhole cover on the left side. It's the only place in town I ever got a flat on my commuter bike. With the realignment it will be harder to get over to the manhole cover "ramp" when going south. Thanks for considering this opportunity to fix a nagging problem.
Pothole on Maxwell Lane close to the interesection with High Street, on the right side, about 15 feet before the bus stop. Thanks!
A Rules of the Road Question: Are cyclists allowed to pull to the right of your automobile at a red light and then pull into the intersection ahead of your automobile? I am particularly concerned when I want to turn right. Additionally, I am concerned when I can see a cyclist approaching from the rear in my right side mirror. Thanks!
