Grand Rapids Press: Bad potholes underscore funding problem
According to an article published in the Grand Rapids Press on February 12, 2013:
“Pockmarked Pearl Street at U.S. 131 in downtown Grand Rapids has made “bumpy ride” an understatement for motorists who dare to drive even a few miles per hour down the treacherous stretch.”
The article, complete with photos of a car passing by potholes along State St. SE, near Lafayette Ave., is illustrative of a problem facing many communities throughout Michigan during the freeze/thaw season of potholes.
Potholes are a symptom of a lack of adequate road funding. Contact your legislator today and recommend that he or she closely consider, and support, bills that address the issue of infrastructure funding in Michigan.
