My car is in sore need of an alignment, thanks to the road conditions in Utica. I know that everyone is hurting from the financial crisis - but holy moley the pot holes are HUGE! Not only are they huge and you have to dodge them, but you also have to dodge the cars that are dodging pot holes coming at you or in the lane next to you. Culver Ave has some doozies, especially by the Nice-n-Easy and right where the parkway splits at Genesee street - East bound is one that takes up the whole left lane. The funny thing is that I am noticing quite a few on Sunset Ave - that was just resurfaced last summer - makes you wonder if the low bid is worth it. The Parkway - down towards MVCC is bad...and it just had a major resurfacing a few years ago and fixing up after that.
I once had a boss who liked to say "Once over lightly" - he didn't want to fix the cause and certainly not do it right - he just wanted it to look fixed. Well - the city and a lot of companies do the same thing - gloss over the problem but by the time they do it "once over lightly" 10 times it could have been fixed right once and probably for less money!
Ok - so now that I've griped - I still love Utica - it's just that my car hates the roads! :)
Spring is coming soon!!!!!!!!
