Unpopular take: That sinkhole on Maple Street is not the worst pothole in town
I keep hearing everyone complain about the Maple Street sinkhole near the gas station. But I measured that thing last week and it's only 4 inches deep and 2 feet wide. Meanwhile, the pothole on Third Avenue by the old laundromat is a solid 8 inches deep and swallows my front tire every time. I reported that one 6 months ago and nothing happened. The city patched Maple Street twice but ignored Third Ave completely. Has anyone else noticed the city picks and chooses which holes to fix based on how many cars drive by?

Figure out how many cars actually drive down Third Ave compared to Maple Street, because that's the only thing that explains the city's logic. I took a look at the traffic counts from the city's own website and Maple gets about 8,000 cars a day while Third gets maybe 2,000. Did you notice any other potholes getting skipped on low-traffic streets, or is this just the one they're ignoring?
