pothole...my vote goes to the one i hit a week ago near ontario street....knocked the tire right off my rim at about 20mph...my 4x4 has size 265 16.5 tires...a car would have dissapeared in that one...
Not one but the worst feeling is coming back from Colonie on Albany St and then hitting the Schenectady border, the roads turn instantly to $hit >

And we have heard that in order to put in a claim to the city, the city requires you to report the pothole to them, in writing I think, before you go through it. Are the dems for real?
So start writing letters to the mayor, the engineering dept and the law dept, send it certified, return receipt too because we all know they would tell you they never received it.
Wonder if you can attach a list of all the streets in the city? Would that cover you for any pothole?
Once you know where a pothole is, you would avoid it, right? So why do you have to report it before you go through it in order to file a claim? Oh yeah, because the dems are too focused on their precious millionaires and billionaires downtown to be bothered checking the streets where the taxpayers live.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
Potholes create jobs for auto mechanics. Deteriorating roads is an IDA/Metroplex project to bring jobs to Schenectady.

Since you're just blowing hot air online trying to make yourself feel more important and you aren't part of the workforce of America, you would make a pothole a political issue. Since you have NEVER spent time outside your mom's computer area in her basement, let me let you in on a secret Christine. Every city of any decent size has potholes and it and it seems like it takes forever for the city to respond, short of public outcry from the media. See their Christine- I just showed you a way to raise the chances of getting the pothole fixed. Maybe if you chose to actually do something instead of being lazy and being on the computer all day, maybe something may get fixed.
Are you nuts everyone laughs at Schenectady's roads, they're a embarrassment when you look at other cities around us, its day and night when you leave our borders. Its not only the potholes but the joke of a cleanup after a snow storm, you don't need the media to mention it as it is already a well known fact Schenectady blows when it comes to our streets. There has been countless complaints by the taxpayers but it falls on deaf ears with the dems in charge, they drove our city into the fckn ground.

Let's see Dave in Omaha, you are not in Schenectady so what would you know. You don't pay taxes in Schenectady nor the county. Thank goodness we don't pay the city's taxes, but we do pay Schenectady county taxes. We have family in the city, and we have friends in the city, some who are trying unsuccessfully to sell their homes because they can't afford the taxes.
Sure, roads have potholes, However, there is NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER, for spending on UNNEEDED "fancy" lavish lighting (which is dimmer than the previous streetlights" for the millionaires and bkillionaires downtown while failing to repair potholes.
And you do NOT drive every day over Erie Blvd, the area north of the underpass which is not part of the "taxpayer funded remodel for the downtown millionaires. North of the underpass is horrible and it is NOT just potholes, the whole thing needs to be repaved, but the city claims there is no money. But how is it there is no money to repave that part of Erie Blvd, but there is money to exempt millionaires and billionaires form paying taxes? How is it there is no money to repave Erie Blvd but ther eis TAXPAYERS' money to give to billionaire Galesi to tear down a building he owns? The city goes after financially struggling homeowners for stupid stuff like size of house numbers and makes them pay to replace the numbers, and there is no financial assistance from the city, but the city can give tax handouts to a billionaire to demolish a building? Galesis is so filthy rich, he has more than enough money to pay for demolish of a building he owns!!!!!!! So WHTY WHY WHY does the city exempt Galesis from paying for his own work. Why should a billionaire be exempt from paying property taxes but homeowners with incomes of $40,000 a year have to pay their own taxes PLUS pay Galesi's taxes?
Why should financially struggling homeowners in the city have to pay for the damage to their cars from roads that need complete repaving while a billionaire is exempt from paying ANY taxes and is the beneficiary of millions of dollars of tax money and then he doesn't even have the guts to live IN the city? Can you
answer that Dave????
I'm beginning to think that Dave is one of DV's imaginary friends. Anyone beginning to agree with that possibility?

I never had a desire to chase the people around that pay my salary, and threaten them with violence. That takes a special kinda person to gets joy out of that.
