Residents push for pothole repairs; village points to DOT responsibility on state routes
Summary
Neighbors reported severe potholing on Elm Street and Route 20 and asked who is responsible; trustees explained which roads are maintained by state DOT, said crews will start local pothole work soon, and noted an impending DOT inspection of the Elm Street bridge.
Several residents used public comment to press the village about badly deteriorated pavement on local and state roads, saying the end of Elm Street and nearby links into Albany Avenue have numerous potholes and unsafe surfaces.
One resident asked whether the village or the state must request work; the chair replied that Albany Avenue, Church Street and Chatham Street are state DOT highways and that DOT schedules pothole crews independently. The board said it will pass concerns to DOT and that local crews planned to begin patching some village streets as weather permits.
Trustees noted an upcoming DOT inspection of the Elm Street bridge and said the village will continue to communicate where local maintenance is needed while coordinating with county and state agencies for roads outside village jurisdiction.
