Good Point & answer on the waiting for a utility repair vs a cold patch repair.
Sure keeps my cold-patch stock options performing.
Come to think of it there are actually buildings in our town center of Ansonia that need to be dug-up.

So tell us, how many gas or water leaks are on the street ?

So you dig it up, you fix the problem, and then you repair the street properly! That section of Lindgren Terrace is a mess now, and because it is a cul de sac, probably won't be taken care of for another 20 years.

I firmly believe that ANY entity that digs up a portion of a street (the city, utilities, etc.) MUST re-pave the entire street from curb to curb for the same length of the area torn open. We all know these "patches" on street, sink, expand and end up as potholes. Platt Street was totally repaved a number of years ago and then a strip was cut into a large portion of it (to do a repair?) and now the surface is uneven. Whose idea is it to cut up and patch roads that are in good shape? Why is this work not done before a road is resurfaced?
