Binghamton Drivers Deal with Pothole Menace

Motorists in Binghamton have been faced with rough road surfaces as potholes develop in the aftermath of the recent snow storms.

Many of the complaints made by drivers over the past month have focused on conditions along Prospect Street.

During recent appearances on WNBF Radio's Binghamton Now program, Mayor Richard David has heard from listeners who requested emergency pothole repair work on Prospect Street.

According to City Hall, David scheduled public works crews to start filling potholes today. The priority for crews on Tuesday was to push back and remove snow.

Crews are expected to fix potholes on Prospect Street and in other areas of Binghamton in coming days.

A statement from the mayor's office noted the focus in January for street crews had been on snow removal.

David said the city has a sufficient supply of salt to handle additional storms that may occur over the next several weeks.
