QUESTION
Sir - can anything be done to repair the potholes on the railroad tracks on Lemay Blvd between Bergstrom Drive and Twining Street? The potholes have been getting larger over the past few years. I'm afraid that one of these times, I won't be able to maneuver my car between them and feel hitting one of the potholes would do some serious damage to my vehicle.

We're working on it. You may have noticed curb and gutter repairs around the installation in the last several weeks. We identified several intersections and road segments requiring repair, including the area you mentioned. Repairing this stretch will require us to close the road and replace the degraded asphalt surrounding Bergstrom and Twining streets. You will see a notification before the work starts--in the meantime, keep aware and continue to navigate the area with caution.
