The Politician & The Pothole(s): Fixes promised

Mayor Patrick Madden

The Terrace's ever-vigilant "road warriors" have something new to report.

Sue McCabe and Ned Alaskey, who regularly petition the City of Troy to repair our crumbling, pockmarked streets -- sometimes with success, sometimes with delayed promises -- tell us they had a visit this evening from Mayor Patrick Madden and a City Court candidate. (Yes, it's that season.)

Our neighbors took advantage of the serendipitous occasion to inform the Mayor they had repeatedly contacted the City Engineering Department and been told we're on "the list" to get some remedial work done, although that has not yet happened. They also made a point of giving him a first-hand tour of some of the bad spots on our streets.

A promissory result: The Mayor promised the pothole work will be done.

A tangible result: If you see a city crew doing that work -- preferably before Election Day on November 8.

Meanwhile, thank Susan and Ned next time you see them.
