I don't understand why it takes submitting a request to fix a pothole on any city maintained street. Don't the Streets Department administrators drive the same streets and avenues that I do? Doesn't the Streets Dept. have field staff driving throughout Phila. The whole length of Ridge Avenue, from Northwestern Av.to 33rd Street needs to be reconstructed. Anyone in public service should hang their head in shame, because they are just overwhelmed and just unable to turn the wheels of government action.
