Ask The City: Potholes

The Question:
Are the gargantuan potholes up and down Grand Ave and 3rd St. ever going to be repaired? I have lived here for three years now and every time I drive those streets I feel like I'm going down a wash board dirt road. I can't imagine the toll the main streets have taken on my vehicle. I understand that there's a cost associated with repairs and maintenance but I would think making Laramie attractive and safe to drive through would be a priority.

The Answer:
“While 3rd Street and Grand Avenue travel through the city of Laramie, ownership of those road ways is with the State of Wyoming. Maintenance responsibility is under the direction of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Your question was forwarded to WYDOT and we anticipate a response soon. For more information, WYDOT can be contacted at telephone number 307-745-2119.”
