Pothole Patrols Starting Early

By - Feb 14th, 2008 11:33 am

Worried about all kinds of potholes you’re seeing (and feeling) on the road?  The Milwaukee Department of Public Works is starting early this year to repair potholes with seasonal workers.  Cyclists and motorists alike rejoice.

As a side note, it’ll cost $120,000 out of the city’s contingency fund.  I don’t drive (read: ride) enough, and haven’t been biking lately to know if this is money well spent.

    The p-holes are absolutely terrible. It is a safety concern because cars are straddleing double lanes and swerving to avoid these horrible holes. It is unsafe for bikers because road tolerances are slim with the massive amount of accumulated snow on the side! My car says thank you.
