By Monday evening the hole was finally filled, but some are asking what took so long.
We learned Monday that the depression wasn't actually a pothole, but a piece of the road that had been removed for a utility problem. The fill used to fill that hole then sank down, creating the depression.
A Streets Department crew arrived with cold patch asphalt and rakes on Monday afternoon. Within about 10 minutes they had the troublesome void filled with a temporary patch.
Residents say this has been an ongoing issue, so what took so long? Officials say the temporary patch used here was to be replaced with a permanent patch, but due to the weather lately that hadn't been done.
