[Summit] street sink-hole

[Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur]

On 4th Street half way up the block from North Main, there is a kind of 
a sink hole in the pavement that seems to have been the result of 
improper street repair work after National Grid dug up the streets last 
summer. In April, a car broke its axle in the hole. Between that driver, 
myself, and others nearby I know the issue has been reported to the city 
quite a number of times, yet there has been no response. Every day I 
hear dozens of cars and trucks bottoming out it in and in fact it makes 
that part of the street entirely unsafe to drive in. And in my opinion, 
this is more dangerous than an ordinary pothole, since even if you are 
going quite slowly you can't tell that the problem exists until after 
your car bottoms out on the way out of the hole. Even if there is some 
reason that the issue can't be repaired at the moment, there should 
really be a traffic cone or something to mark the spot and prevent 
drivers from driving there (though with parking on the street, that 
would reduce traffic to a single lane--but still, better than breaking 
an axlel!)

So on the one hand, consider this a warning so you'll know to look out 
for it. On the other--any suggestions for getting some sort of 
reponse--even the temporary traffic cone kind--from the city?
