Describing himself as ‘‘one angry Bergh is even more upset because late last week most potholes in city — “stréets were! ‘camouflaged = "they were filled | with water’ ‘and invisible to the eye. ‘But Public ‘Works director ‘of operations John Colongard — says city crews are working under the same- disadvantage, He says that under ‘conditions ~ ’ ‘like those: experienced last week; potholes can appear overnight and go unnoticed until some- one complains. ~ Colongard also adds that Bergh wasn’t ‘the only local resident who found‘hidden potholes - that same day. As a result, he says, a two-man crew went to work at about 9 p.m. Jast Thurs- day, and used 1,500 pounds of patching material in order to fill a number of potholes. ‘‘They’re almost impossible to find,” he says, “but crews -fill them as soon. as they possibly can.” In checking with one local repair shop, several other victims were found in addition to the $100-plus experience of Bergh. Satwant Gill lost $100 in the same pothole as Bergh and another resident, Robert Fisher, found that still waters run deep when he gave up $120 worth of, rubber in a related incident on the same day. - Lined up like victims of war, these abused tires In a local repair shop were damaged by a minefield of potholes in Terrace streets.
