During a recent government meeting, resident Paul M. Frosolone voiced his frustrations regarding the persistent issue of potholes in West Haven, emphasizing that this has been a long-standing problem that has not been adequately addressed by previous administrations. Frosolone highlighted the severe conditions on streets such as Second Avenue and Blum Street, stating that this would be his third time urging the city to ensure all potholes are filled by June 1st.

He criticized the maintenance of the city's pothole filling equipment, noting that the public works department had failed to properly maintain a pothole machine, which had been borrowed from Milford on several occasions. Frosolone recounted emotional testimonies from military veterans who expressed their distress over the noise and damage caused by potholes, particularly on 5 Rock Street, which he claimed had been neglected due to conflicts with local business interests.

Frosolone also addressed ongoing issues with street lighting on 5 Rock Street, stating that the lights had been malfunctioning for most of the year and that new lights had been ordered but had yet to arrive. He expressed his commitment to the community, stating that he communicates extensively with residents and city officials to stay informed about local issues.

In closing, Frosolone praised the current administration's efforts but raised concerns about a lack of communication regarding road closures, indicating that not all city council members were aware of recent decisions affecting local infrastructure. His remarks underscore the urgent need for improved city services and responsiveness to resident concerns.
