Benton road has more than 96 potholes

Fri, May 16 2008

— I don’t know if anyone has complained about the 96-plus potholes on Elkhart Street in Benton. Some I measured are 5-by-4 feet wide, 3 to 6 inches or more deep.
This is dangerous as people have driven off the side to miss them. Some have come as close as 3 inches of going into the ditch by the river.
The school bus uses this road every school day.
It would be better to tear it up and put it to gravel in Benton than let it stay like this.
