I drive down Pine Rock every day on the way to work and everyone is constantly swerving to avoid these pot holes..repave the street once and for all

I had new tires put on my car and they told me my alignment was very very messed up and that it was most likely due to driving over potholes, which I do every day on Pine Rock Ave. It is dangerous and it does a lot of damage. They need to fix it asap.

This is a three year old issue? How do we notify/escalate on something this serious?

Hello, My name is Charles and I am a life long resident of Hamden. I too have encountered this pot hole and it indeed damaged my vehicle. The mechanic is still researching the damage as this happened earlier today. The mechanic and I are both praying this is not an issue with the frame of the vehicle. After returning to the location of the pot holes to verify that what I hit was indeed a crater and not a small hole I took the pictures attached to this post. I thought that these pot holes were a bit dangerous as swerving to avoid is not an option with oncoming traffic and the possibility of a blown tire could send a driver off the road. This led me to research if these pot holes have been reported. After discovering that this road and its pot holes have been reported multiple times over the past year via see click fix I was shocked that something so potentially hazardous is allowed to go on in its existing condition for so long. Additionally as an Albertus Magnus College student these repairs are quite strenuous for me in my transit to school and internships and also financially.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Regards,

Charles

First pot hole immediately followed by this one.

This is what it looks like approaching head on. Unfortunately had to take pictures at night.

The New Haven stretch of Pine Rock, from Fitch to the Hamden Line has been re-surfaced. Thank you. It now has a peculiar "washboard" effect but at least the deep potholes are gone and dangerously swerving into oncoming traffic has stopped.
