It looks like there is more pothole than road at this point - intersection of West Park and Hubinger

We are closing your specific issue since it was patched. We have also assigned the location for future work and wanted you to know. Thanks for reporting.

Department of Public Works assigned this issue to Localized Repair

Yes, some work has been done in the area. However, as I hope you appreciated, the road is still very deteriorated. I hope that you work includes repaving of the area as well on Elm near Hubinger.

So far an OK start. Still work to go. When will the additional work be done? Every winter the road becomes worse.

The intersection between Hubinger and West Park is still unpaved. There are holes, gravel, stones everywhere. It is dangerous. Some superficial patching was done months ago, but it all has washed away. It is dangerous walking and on a bike. A large stone can be sent flying and hit someone at any time.

I saw the patching when it was done. The workers were indifferent to the real state of the road. Some patch was thrown down and they drove away.

I am hopeful that some day this will be repaired. Superficial patching will not help.

I drive on this road everyday and am really shocked that they closed the issue and consider it taken care of. Hubinger between Elm and West Park is in terrible shape- with one pothole easily measuring 5 feet across. Please take care of this!

I personally spoke to the Alder Marchand who told me he would look at and into it. Nothing has happened.

This SeeClickFix should remove the Fix part of its name. The city may work on it within the next 10 years or not when it wants to. The only way it will get done is if someone of power or perceived power tells the street department to do it. Otherwise, forget it.

Potholes on Hubinger Street were patched. Issue closed. If you need to report another issue please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works at (203) 946 - 7700. Thanks.

I'm so disappointed by the city's idea of a fix to this problem. These patches are just like patches already applied... they'll be gone with the first heavy rain or closely plowed snowfall. There are several potholes in the middle of the block that are going to get terrible shortly. Can you please address this in an effective and considerate way?

The street is still a dangerous mess and should be repaved. There is loose gravel and loose stones everywhere making it dangerous for walking and biking.

still a rocky pebbly mess

Some asphalt patch used. But rocks and pebbles everywhere as well as unfilled holes. I cross this location everyday. I do my best to walk around it so I don't fall. Cars still go over the bumpy mess. There a big stones everywhere.

Please repave it and not throw more useless patch there.

It's been more than 2 1/2 years and it's still a mess. Maybe the person who reads this is different than those in the past.

I will again inform A. Marchand about this. I have told him about it for at least 3 years.

Keep this open.

I have indeed followed this issue for many months now, and have advocated for Hubinger, especially this intersection, to be repaved. I agree that the temporary patch work quickly falls apart and that this section of road is failing. It will require a complete mill and pave.

I have reached out to DPW again to see about getting this work done. Stay tuned.

I followed up with the DPW director, who confirmed that the intersection of West Park and Hubinger has been identified as a location warranting road maintenance, but that the paving season has ended for 2017. He said DPW will monitor the intersection and as required patch with hot recycled asphalt this winter. He also said this intersection would remain a candidate for a mill and pave in 2018.

I will put this intersection (and possibly more of Hubinger Street) at the top of my list of streets to be considered by the Resource Allocation Committee for the 2018 paving season.

Thanks. Do let him forget about this.

Do not let him forget

I am hoping I will live long enough before you fix this. My health is deteriorating faster than the street is being repaired. So who knows what will happen first. My life expectancy is more that 15 years.

Please tell me if I can wait long enough.

Hello everyone,

The 2018 paving season is just a few months away. In a few weeks, alders will be asked to submit their list of streets requested to be paved. As I did last year, I will put Hubinger on my list. I agree that the street, especially the stretch near the intersection with West Park, is in bad shape. I don't think mere patches will fix that area. It needs a mill and pave.

Stay tuned.

Best, Adam.

All of West Park Avenue needs repaving.

Wow! These potholes are huge!

As some may note I have been writing about these potholes now since April 2015. Not much has been done and the situation is deteriorating. West Park Avenue is now falling apart. I know specifically when our prior mayor took a personal interest in repaving the street in 2004. So it is now 14 years and the street is worse that I ever remember it. I have been on the street for almost 40 years.

So my guess is that SeeClick will be out of business before there is any repaving. Then the complaints will end. Forget about expecting any help from any elected representative.

So don't ever "close this issue".

Hello everyone,

Hubinger from Eldert to West Park was selected for a complete mill and pave this fall. The street has already been milled, and in the next week or two will be paved.

Best regards, Adam.

Better late than never.

Hubinger from Eldert to West Park has been paved. I stopped by there yesterday as work crews were completing the paving. I'm so glad that residents raised this issue and that I put the street on the list. It took longer than I had wanted to get it done, but now it's done!

I have seen the newly paved road. That is fine.

However, the next step is to repave West Park Avenue. It is crumbling in places. It is used often by many, many cars.

Hubinger from Eldert Street to West Park Avenue was paved in Fall 2018. Issue closed. If you need to report another issue please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works at (203) 946 - 7700. Thanks.

Yes, that intersection is now well paved. However West Park Avenue is deteriorating fast. It should be repaved. It is heavily trafficked with potholes and splitting in two in some places.

the pothole in front of my house is growing rapidly

Is the pothole located at 224 West Park? I'll open a new See Click Fix issue for 224 if that's the correct location? Let us know. Buried on this chain, it won't get seen.

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
