“With the melting of the snow, many things are discovered. Like lost items, dog poop and potholes. The last on the list is the most destructive, however. With so many potholes on the street, the city really needs to start repairing them and not just with the tar and gravel stuff they use now.”

With the melting of the snow, many things are discovered. Like lost items, dog poop and potholes.
The last on the list is the most destructive, however.
With so many potholes on the street, the city really needs to start repairing them and not just with the tar and gravel stuff they use now.
That stuff doesn’t work.
It gets stuck in your tires and after a week or so, it is no longer in the hole.
Not only is it not in the pothole, but it appears that the pothole has gotten worse.
These devil holes have already caused numerous Buchtelite staff members car damage.
This isn’t good.
The city needs to find a better substance to fill the holes with. It should be durable, and longer lasting.
We know the city is trying to keep up with all of the holes, and that is why a better substance would help to make it easier on them.
Perhaps, an even better idea would be to hold a contest and see if the Engineering students could come up with a better substance.
They might be able to, and that would solve a lot of problems.
