Oops, this may be East Hartford's responsibility... hopefully we'll get a clarification from Manchester or East Hartford here before too long.

Sorry - I'm told be colleagues here at the JI that the road is in East Hartford. The EH Public Works Dept. is a watcher in this area and should receive an email, but just in case you should contact them here:

WOW! There was a similar issue on Brewer Street where the MDC dug up a spot to fix something (I don't think they ever disclosed what they were fixing) and never completely closed the hole correctly. Eventually people driving down Brewer Street called the police six or seven times prompting the MDC to come out another five times before the issue was ever fixed. It's a shame when an agency like the MDC fails to get things right so often that taxpayer dollars are continuously wasted fixing the same problems over and over again.

Thanks,

This appears to involve a road in East Hartford not Glastonbury

It's very curious that no one from Public Works has responded to this issue.

I inquired about this when the work was originally being done and it is my understanding that they will be back in the Spring to do a curb to curb rehab of the street. My motivation for inquiring was frustration that the town had spent tax dollars on rehabing the road only to have the MDC come and use ratepayer dollars to dig it up, albeit in response to a collapsed pipe near Claire Road as has been acknowledged. I think efforst should be placed on calling the Mayor's office to express concern about it so it remains on the radar.
