Have you seen potholes as you've traveled around Troy? Most of us have, especially when we have bounced into one or two and wondered if your tires were going to collapse.
Well, welcome to "Operation Pothole," part of the City's post-winter quality-of-life program.
City workers already have begun patching potholes and road crevices to canvass streets and alleys to locate potholes and cracks caused by the harsh winter weather, according to Mayor Carmella Mantello's office that also says "For the next month, Quality-of-Life Action Crews will be working daily, removing debris and filling problem areas with hot asphalt to ensure safer roadways."
Also says the mayor, “We are taking a proactive, aggressive approach -- street by street and alley by alley -- to address potholes across Troy.”
Even though that is the City's focus, Terrace residents no doubt have noticed the deterioration of the crumbling roads leading into our community -- a status your THCA Board repeatedly has brought to the administration's attention and asked for repairs.
"Residents are encouraged to report potholes through the City of Troy website," says the mayor. "While repairs may not be immediate, Operation Pothole is committed to addressing every issue to improve Troy’s roads."
While The Terrace Times remains apolitical, it does encourage working on behalf of our community. To report/request work on the crumbling city-owned streets on the Terrace -- specifically Hyland Drive and Hyland Circle -- please visit the City's online spot to report our road problems.
