Why are there so many streets in Woodstock that are deteriorating? And why are deteriorating conditions allowed to continue for so long?
There is a barricade this week on the brick paving right on the Square. Check out the corner of Cass and Benton, in front of Gallery 100. At least, the City has put a barricade at this street problem.
Check out the “dip” in front as 218 N. Madison, as you roll to a stop northbound at Church Street. What is happening beneath the surface of the pavement? Has the City investigated that dip? Does it know (yet) what is going on below the pavement that is causing the surface to sink? Will, someday, a car or truck punch on through the surface and fall into a sink hole?
And how about the “dips” on Judd Street as you drive toward the Library from the Square? Is anything serious going on there? Or, rather, has anything serious been developing over the past few months that will create a sudden danger for a motorist, if a sink hole opens up?
And on Lake Avenue just east of Eastwood (Route 47). This is a newly paved roadway that should have remained in great condition for years. Within a year the pavement is cracking and deteriorating, especially around manhole covers. Will the City hold the contractor liable and cause the contract to make full and permanent repairs as soon as weather permits?

If you know of a potentially-serious street problem (rut, deep chuckhole, etc.), report it to pwdept@woodstockil.gov and post it here.

I think that Al Capone's vault is hidden beneath the dip. Lets have Gerldo dig it up ... then that strange red VW (and its driver) that cruises the Square can get swallowed up. Robby M.
Check out the picture of the "dip" posting this blog. How long is anyone going to allow this to continue. What if a meteor is falling toward the earth right now. What is the city doing about it and how long did they know about it??!?
if you are so concerned about this dip in the road, why dont you go out there and fix it so you can make pointless trips around the square to find more things to bitch about. the city has alot more work to do other than make sure a red VW doesnt drive over any pot holes or "dips". is this "dip" an inconvenience? if this is refering to gus, yes hes an inconvenience to this town. slow down moron when going over things like this, a law-abiding citizen should know this. maybe i should go dig a hole in your driveway so you wont be able to drive around and pretend to be important.
it's called snow=plow=salt=plow=warm weather=soft roads=snow=plow=salt on soft roads=pot holes and dips.
You're the expert Sherlock. How would you fix potholes in the dead of winter?
You are the biggest fucking dip in Woodstock. How long will it take untill someone beats the living crap out of your dumb ass. What went wrong in your life that you become such a negative idiot! If Woodstock is so horrible, move the fuck out. I do have to say that I am glad you have this blog and I hope you are reading this because the newspaper won't print the honest opinion pepole have about you. Get a fucking clue.
........MC FLY!!!!!!!!!!
I vote for Plainfield again! Buh Bye Gus!
hey stupid its due to the extreme weather conditions.i dont see ur ass out there repairing in -20deg windchill conditions, why should the city employees do it,wait till the weather changes.its for their own safety anyways.
Keeping your head above water, making each day as you can, temporary potholes, good times. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dynomite and Gusalicious.
Gus,
It is called winter and the frost in the ground plays a major role in the poor roads.
Gus,
You should move to other town and start all your bull shit over there. Enough is enough!
