Description

The condition of Berkeley Place, a dead-end street serving as an access for residents of Taylor Boulevard and Whitehall Streets in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is simply deplorable and cannot be considered mere "potholes." The roadbed is severely degraded and the blacktop is turning back into gravel. There are plants growing in the middle of the road. There have never been any "curbs" along Berkeley Place; the surface is not properly swaled to provide for good drainage, and the entire situation is made worse every time a garbage truck drives recklessly along its length. In the few instances in which city plow teams remember that Berkeley Place even exists (and is not merely an "alley" but a bona fide city street), their trucks have ruined the only repairs ever made to the road surface some 15 years ago. Please relay to the proper authorities in Harrisburg, PA: kindly DO SOMETHING! to keep Berkeley Place from turning back into a dirt road entirely, time being of the essence. Thank you.
