Watch Out!
UPDATE: Scroll to the bottom to see how this situation was resolved.
We were driving down Jamaica Avenue late this afternoon when we saw something unusual in the distance - something sitting in the middle of the road. As we got closer it became apparent what it was -- a garbage can. And as we got even closer we saw why it was sitting there. Someone put it there -- and they put it there to cover the big hole in the road!
That's fine in the daytime -- but at night, when visibility on Jamaica Avenue is not as good, this could be very hazardous. So, what do you do when you see a dangerous condition like this? These should always be reported to 311 -- and when you call, make sure that you get the Service Request Number. You should also alert the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation (718-805-0202).
We called 311 and will be checking online for updates. Here's a closer look at the hole --
UPDATE: As noted previously, we entered a 311 on Tuesday evening. Last night, we saw tht the hole had been repaired:
A quick check of the 311 Website shows that the status was updated on Thursday morning -- but it doesn't quite tell us when it was actually repaired.
