Colton blasts DOT over 86th Street pothole repair
The city’s Department of Transportation did such a sloppy job of repairing a pothole on busy 86th Street in Bensonhurst that the roadway is now doubly dangerous for pedestrians, according to one local politician.
DOT came in to repair a “crater-sized” pothole at the intersection of 86th Street and Bay Parkway, said Assemblymember William Colton, contending that the agency made an awkward attempt to fill in the pothole that resulted in way too much blacktop and created a small mountain in the crosswalk.
“They over-filled it,” Colton told the Home Reporter.
