Description

Last year the blocks of East Rock Rd between Prospect and Whitney were repaved. A nice relief from potholes and ruts for a few months, then the city gouged out the surface last summer. There are longitudinal gouges over most of the road, and the area next to the curbs is deeply gouged. There is sufficient drop off from my driveway to the road surface that my car scrapes when I try to use my driveway. After an expensive replacement of a damaged shield on the undersurface, I no longer use my driveway. But street parking, especially when it snows, is not great. When will the city add a top layer back? And why was a newly resurfaced, smooth, street ground down within a few months of repaving?
