actually Diane Drive has so many potholes before brent drive and the manhole cover it question that the town of vernon should just dig the road up and put a better base down. there are far too many natural springs coming down from Box Mt area that go thru back yards and undermine the roads. I know of catch basins in back yards from Diane, Foster, Michael , Brent , and russell drives that have not seen maintenance in decades, Pipes collapsed? much less road resurfacing since 1976. lower Brent Drive storm run off leaves end of driveways with either major puddles or ice patches due to road edges sinking, hence, poor drainage/runoff. neighbors basements still get water after a heavy rain or snow melt off due to spring water and drainage issues.
