City Pushes PennDOT to Repair Potholes Across Region
City Council unanimously authorized City Engineer David Johnson to write to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation urging swift pothole repairs after a harsh winter. Streets Director Robert Grice said crews patch potholes on state highways within the city to protect drivers, with contractors to redo permanent patches where winter damaged them. He noted local objections to using city materials on state roads but argued savings justify it. Worth Street and Spring Street are highlighted as priorities.
