Description
There is a dangerous pothole just a few yards to the west driveway for 9307 Cherokee Road. The pothole is hidden and looks like a small shallow puddle of water. It destroyed my tire on Monday morning (not fixable - had to replace the tire) on my way to drop my child at Trinity and another parent had the same thing happen this morning. Bicyclists often ride on this road. If a cyclist hits this pothole he or she will be thrown from the bike with a strong possibility of injury - it won't just be a flat.

This problem has been reported and "fixed" twice before... There is something wrong UNDER the road which also causes huge excessive puddles (and moisture in our lower field across from 9307) every time it rains. It is not "just" a pothole... Please do further exploration and repair this time.
Thank you.

Imagine my surprise yesterday morning as I was driving along Cherokee and almost ran into the pothole that was reportedly fixed. SO, I'm reopening this issue and requesting that the pothole be fixed this time.
Here are detailed directions to the pothole: 1) cross over the Huguenot Bridge going south, 2) turn right onto Cherokee Road and drive along towards the river, 3) when the road turns to the left and begins to run along the river, look for the mailbox for 9307 Cherokee Road (it is right next to a street sign for James River Watch), 4) stand in front of the 9307 mailbox facing the river and turn to your left,
6) walk somewhere between 30 and 60 feet along the north side of the road. The pot hole is there - it is about 2 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot deep. Let's get this tire-eating and potential cyclist-injuring hole fixed.
