Description

ROAD HAZARD/DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION

A water main failure was repaired last summer on Locke Rd approximate to numbers 32 and 39. The 8' x 10' pavement patch above the excavated main has started to collapse into the area repaired. Depression has increased in depth over the past 10 days to approximately 3".

NOTHING DONE TO DATE:
The area noted above continues to sink. Patch has now pulled away on the edges from main road. This is creating a safety hazard for vehicles passing over, especially for motorcyclists. Several have already hit this depression and have barely been able to recover control of their bikes.

The area needs to be repaired or, at the very least, marked with reflective, orange paint or some sort of signage in order to alert motorists that they are approaching hazard.
