At first blush, driving on poorly maintained roads with fraying edges and potholes may seem like only a minor irritant, but dilapidation does have serious consequences for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.
During a recent Salt Lake City Council meeting, Councilwoman Lisa Adams presented pictures of potholes in her neighborhood near 2100 South and 2100 East. It was a reminder to the rest of the City Council that basic infrastructure maintenance and replacement in Sugar House is lacking, but every neighborhood in Salt Lake City has a problem with streets. Our Salt Lake City Streets Department can barely keep up and, from speaking with local residents, they are very aware that the problem is getting worse.
