Description

There is a long pothole on State Street, just north of Crown Street, where a sewer separation job has turned into a trough. On that part of State Street many large trucks come barrelling down to try to make the light at George Street and when they hit the trough it makes the buildings near that corner shake. It also happens when trucks and cars turn that corner from State onto Crown too fast. I think that the surprise of hitting the pothole so close to the turn could distract any driver and accidentally hit a pedestrian crossing Crown on their way to Union Station. Pedestrian traffic on that part of State Street has increased significantly since the Elm City Market opened.
