Loading...
Summary
Resident Joshua Tucker asked the council to address large, hazardous potholes at the park-and-ride behind the UDF; city staff said they would verify ownership and, if the city owns the lot, perform temporary repairs or bid larger work.
Joshua Tucker, a Forest Park resident who identified himself at the podium, urged the council to address multiple large potholes at the park-and-ride behind the UDF, saying the holes are "very big and dangerous" and that he has attempted to contact public works with no result.
Tucker said he uses the lot daily to commute and offered photos; staff suggested verifying whether the lot is owned by Metro and, if it is city property, performing a temporary fill quickly or bidding a more extensive repair if necessary. City Manager John Jones said staff would "find that" and "if it's ours, we'll fix it." A council member asked whether Tucker had experienced car damage; Tucker responded many drivers hit potholes and the conditions make avoiding damage difficult.
The meeting record contains no formal directive with a timeline beyond staff agreeing to verify ownership and perform temporary repairs if the lot is city property. If Metro owns the lot, the city said it would coordinate with Metro to seek repairs.
