Persistent potholes on Brookpark Road make for bone-jarring journey

CLEVELAND — One particular stretch of Brookpark Road, located between Broadview and State roads, has become so hazardous that nearby business owners say the road is responsible for dozens of cracked rims and blown-out tires every single day.

For much of the day Tuesday, road crews from the City of Cleveland were going up and down Brookpark Road, filling some of the litanies of potholes that have opened up over the course of a long, snow-filled winter. However, for many drivers, the damage had already been done. John Kish, who works at Apache Auto Parts, has had a front-row seat to the vehicular carnage for years. The condition of the roadway is as bad as he can remember, Kish said.

Particularly concentrated in the westbound lanes — the Cleveland side of Brookpark Road — the potholes are more than five inches deep in some places and more than a foot wide. In order to avoid a bone-rattling trip into some of them, drivers are forced to slalom from lane to lane, oftentimes just cruising down the middle turn lane.

Ridgewood Drive in Parma between State & Ridge is just as bad...check it out too. They redid the part of Ridgewood when WalMart showed at 'The Shoppes', & did nothing for the road on either on either sides east & west of the mall. But CIty Hall has a nice Xmas display each year!
