Irvinton pleas for action on Broadway paving hazards
A letter urges the village fathers to press the State Department of Public Works over dangerous Broadway pavement between Clinton Avenue and the south village line. The writer criticizes years of hit or miss patching, poor sealing, and inadequate compaction, noting the road’s washboard condition endangers drivers and pedestrians near Wood Lane School. The piece cites a faulty 1930s design backed by the state, with top surfaces peeled and not properly repaired.
