Description
Once again, there was an accident on the road due to the extremely dangerous conditions. The hill between 720 and 746 is absolutely destroyed and full of deep, sharp holes. I understand the town is very busy with storm cleanup and I thank them for their work. But this road has been in total disrepair for the last couple of years. Vehicles continue to swerve and drive on opposite sides of the road to avoid the deep holes that surely cause damage to vehicle wheels and suspension components. Roads in Hamden with far less traffic and better conditions are repaved while Mt Carmel continues to degrade further and more accidents occur. Again thanks to Public Works for all the hard work they continue to do. Please repave.

I just avoided a major incident in this area on Sunday; June 3rd. While driving east, a vehicle came at me doing at least 50 to 60 mph and practically went airborne attempting to get back into his correct lane. When the road is repaired, could we consider rumble strips or speed humps in the tight turn areas of this road to avoid a major incident? Because of the very narrow shoulders on this road, all attempts to slow vehicles on this road should be a priority.
Thank you,
