Heads up on home road in the NW

[jdmXSI]

Just a heads up for anyone that uses home road coming from marketmall to bowness(south down the big hill) that there is a pretty big pot hole about half way down the hill. A good samaritan warned us but about 4-5 other cars weren't so lucky havin to change thier tires...

[swak]

Holy Shit.

Thanks for the heads up! :thumbsup:
I travel on this road quite a bit.... Pothole sounds pretty significant.

[Disoblige]

Holy crap! Good call.

Thank you.

Lovin' Calgary's road maintenance.

They have a pylon there now, not sure when they're planning on filling it though.

So, do these people who had to change their wheel have a case against the city for not properly maintaining the roads?

I know it can be difficult getting compensation for damage due to poor road conditions, but from the sounds of it, this is pretty blatant.

^ no, the hole would have to be there for months before the city would consider any type of compensation. I've seen this before.

I bent two rims on my old car from a massive pothole on elbow once and I tried to get the city to pay and just got a big run-around.

[Q-TIP]

I'm surprised that Home Rd doesn't have more problems than it already does. The hillside it is built on is extremely unstable and has a tendency to wash out when large amounts of water are present in the soil (recent warm weather anyone?)

if its a big pot hole that means that under the road a pipe has broken and thats what made the road to brake. so just filling it wont solve the problem
