Description
The depression in the roadway is 27 inches ( north south) by 24 inches ( east west) it is 4 inches deep at its deepest point: The depression is in the middle of the roadway, so it’s not caused by traffic: Last year the city ran a new water main under the street to 162, the depression lines up exactly with where they shot the new line. There is a blue paint mark in the pavement pointing in the direction of where they shot the new water line. Three daye ago I reported this to the City if St Petersburg Water Resources department, they said they would send out a crew. Haven’t seen any crew, haven’t heard a word from them. My neighbor reported this to the mayors action committee months ago, nothing has been done. It’s not just a matter of filling in the depression with some asphalt, the right people need to investigate the conditions of what’s under the roadway and determine whether there is a sinkhole developing.

The paving crew is here now, they are going to fill in the depression. I went and spoke to them, explaining that filling it in is a bandaid, that what’s happening under thempsvement needs to be investigated: They said their job and was to fill it in. I thanked them for their work and told them that I would be updating this record.
THIS IS NOT an acceptable solution, this is a temporary fix. The conditions underneath the roadway needs to be investigated: I’ll be contacting our city council person and the media.
If this depression was in the street in front of your home, you would want it thoroughly investigated. You would not put up with a bandaid fix.
