So that pothole that might have been classified as FIXED, you gotta see this

As some will recall on Sunday Johnny posted pictures of a crater of a pothole looking for a place to emerge and showed the before and after the MUA/DPW dropped a couple shovels of asphalt on it and called it good. So here we are on Wednesday and Johnny's bitching and complaining got somebody's attention:

As you can see from the ladder in the hole a couple shovelfuls of anything wasn't going to fill it. If you want anything done right Jersey City be prepared to have to see it through. Ring some phones, send some emails and when all else fails get a blog and a Twitter account.

C'mon Municipal Utilities Authority and Department of Pubic Works, try a little harder than this

Earlier this week the Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) announced an "aggressive" campaign to start filling in potholes all over town. Why the MUA? Because the Department of Public Works (DPW) can't keep up because they are busy installing personal gas grills in their offices. Some of these potholes have gained mythological reputations and Twitter accounts. Johnny called one in, baseball size BUT it's going to become watermelon sized and SINK because if you look at the pictures below you can see a good six inch VOID under street level. It's sagging badly inward. We're of the mind the construction crews for Toll Brothers, Shuster, Lloyd Goldman's bunch via Pavarini-McGovern and Mill Creek should pass the hat since their trucks' constant pounding most likely exacerbated this one.

Johnny called it in and the "aggressive" MUA/DPW campaign stopped by and it looks like threw one, maybe two shovels of asphalt over it (some did get inside LOL) and left.

So our question to the MUA/DPW is, does this count as fixing a pothole? When you say you've fixed 5000 around Jersey City does throwing a couple shovels of asphalt count as fixed? You cannot half-ass this stuff gang. These holes get worse and worse and a shovel here and a shovel there doesn't do shit.

So, one more time, did you count this one at Warren and Morgan as a fix?
