So true so true so true. I actually avoid using that road but sometimes have sudden memory loss and find myself on it at times. I really feel something is admidst under the pavement. Hanover/Withrop keeps getting lower and lower like dirt is being washed away. Bottomed out there way too many times and thats from a slow roll after the light at the end of Columbus turns green.

We definitely need new people governing our City. I always wonder where all the $ goes each time we have mill rate hike and even constant water/sewer rate hikes

And this is something new? This particular street has screamed for attention for years, but if the city does eventually re-pave it, it will just become a dangerous runway between Bradley and Hanover because people around here drive like jerks. Thanks for getting to it, Mr. Mayor, but I'll be more afraid of driving on it when it's done! As to the original poster's 'vehicle damage', if you drive the posted speed limit and stop...a full stop...at the stop signs, I can assure you your vehicle will not get damaged...

In support of "vehicle damage" when i first bought a home in Meriden (2004), not knowing of the condition of the roadway (nighttime driving) my vehicle bottomed out (damaged) when proceeding from a full stop at the light on Columbus Avenue as i proceeded to go straight onto Winthrop. At all times, I come to full stops at stop signs and I drive the speedlimit always. It is the condition of the roadway, especially the extrreme dip in the road at the corner of Winthrop and New Hanover. Can't blame speed all the time when it comes to that intersection

Driving slowly helps!

North Third and west main-have the same problem -however all the road ways in this immediate area winthrop lambert around the church are in need of desperate repair hight taxes for both home and auto property but the money is not being put in to good use in this area
